Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields
Abandoned<br>& Little-Known Airfields
©<br>2002, © 2026 by Paul<br>Freeman. Revised 6/13/26.
Dedicated in the memory of my father, Harris Freeman (1929-2010), who<br>supported my interest in aviation ever since I was a little boy. ***
“History<br>& mystery combined.”
On<br>the following pages, you will find information on vanished or<br>abandoned airfields & their unusual histories.
As<br>a pilot, a particular interest of mine has always been the abandoned<br>airfields that dot the landscape of much of this country.
Both<br>for their potential safety value to a pilot in an emergency,
and<br>also for their sometimes fascinating history, this particular topic<br>has always held my curiosity.
When<br>I'm a passenger on commercial flights, I've always found myself<br>looking out the window, constantly looking for airfields below.
When<br>I fly as a pilot myself, I've always tried to land at as many<br>airports as possible,
to<br>learn a little about each one.
