it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
From what I can tell it never got one.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
If it had one, of course now it's defunct. But having closed in 1961, it should have had one.
I THINK that it was WYA, because this old document references it as Mitchel's "Airdrome Control Station", which I assume just means Mitchel as its own aerodrome.

I found this very cool site. The link takes you to the section of info for Mitchel Field. It talks about other old and abandoned airports in the area as well.
