Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields
 |
Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields is a site that covers information on 1,368 airfields across the United States that have vanished or been abandoned. Of particular note for me are the abandoned airports near me in the Virginia Hampton area. At one point, Williamsburg had two operational airports, Williamsburg Airport / Scott Field which opened in 1931 and closed some time in 1952 and College Airport / William & Mary Airport / Central Airport which also opened in 1931 and stayed open until 1962. The site also noted that the “College of William & Mary was the first college in America to offer flying lessons in its regular course catalog.” The Williamsburg area still has an active albeit small airport, the Williamsburg Jamestown Airport (JGG) which opened in 1970, but I have only been their to eat at the restaurant on site, Charly’s Airport Restaurant. |
