A fascinating archive of (mostly) abandoned US airfields compiled by Paul Freeman. The above photo is the first helicopter flight simulator, also featured on the site.
One Response to “Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields”
This is fascinating information. I have had a lifelong interest in old airfields, battlefields, old warships(mothballed,sunk, or scrapped),and abandoned military sites and equipment. As a child in the 1960′s in Pensacola, Florida, I extensively explored Bronson Field, one of the most intriguing abandoned fields in the country. I remember finding ammo bunkers, the swimming pool, rows of crated SNJ training planes, the water towers and the seaplane ramps. I also camped there with the Boy Scouts. Nearby in Alabama is Barin Field, which is also quite interesting. I have also made two visits to Corregidor Island in the Phillipines in the 1980′s, truly a remarkable trip to the past. Keep up the good work.
