This may help:

And if you know how to read them here's source to see FAA sectionals online and locate your field:
http://skyvector.com/#47-14-3-4287-3487

My main field is under the Class C airspace for John Wayne/Orange County Airport in Class G airspace.

I have flown at other sites around the LA/Orange County area that are in Class C and Class D airspace as well.
The descriptions for a Class B show a set of graduations but it does not say how wide each ring is for a class B airspace.

The skyvector linktook me right to Long Island, were our field is located. The field is in Syosset, on the north shore, directly east from LaGuardia.

Looks like the field is about15 NM from JFK and about15 NM from LaGuardia. I presume these areClass B airspace airport, but how would you tell?So, what kind of airspace does that put me in?

Lookslike the field isjust outside the dotted linefrom Republic airport. I am guessingthat is about 5 NM.Their web site says they are Class Dairspace.This is mostly private airplanes as far as I know. I am not aware of any scheduled commercial flights out of here. http://www.republicairport.net/pilot-overview.htm
