I've always been fascinated with Mitchell field ( site of Cradle of Aviation museum)

There even used to be an airfield on Governors Island !

Great article and photos about Flushing airport. I live in Queens and fly out of ISP but always wished I could drive 10 min to Flushing instead of 45 min (or longer depending on traffic on the LIE) to ISP to fly. I was too young to start flight lessons by the time Flushing closed.
