Comment thread "New York City's first airport" for Floyd Bennett Field
Comments 1 to 2 of 2 in the thread "New York City's first airport" (Floyd Bennett Field):
The first time I flew commercial into New York City I saw this underneath us as we were being vectored around. I didn't notice the historical aircraft, but there were plenty of helicopters.
Located in Brooklyn, this was the first municipal airport serving NYC. During World War II, it was Naval Air Station New York. According to Wikipedia, the runways are still usable, and the airport is occasionally reopened for air shows. The NYPD still has a heliport on site, and there is a display of historical aircraft.
