I recently found some great info on this place were my parents take me once in a while for driving lessons. I decided to look it up and found out it was a well used airport,People like Howard Hughes and Amelia Earhart took off from there on some of there flights! I instantly fell in love with the place.
The name of it is ''Floyd Bennett field'' I'll try to post some info.

I never new i could find such great aviation history here in Brooklyn NY lol

In that first aerial photo, If i look close enough i think i can see were i left skid marks on the runway from my last driving lesson!

Man that Pontiac may have had 162,000 miles on her when we got it but after 3 months allowance she flew like a blue angel!

Now if only i can find my dream car!
It shouldn't be to hard for a 17 year old to find a 1967 ford mustang Shelby gt-500 should it?

Hi Steve,
I saw Eleanor yesterday when I took my wife to brunch. I guess there are a few clones out there. What i didn't realize was that it had GT500 badges on it. Cool looking Mustang.
