Looking for old flying field photos or newspaper articles at Mountain View Park Middlesex NJ. The older the better trying to establish the background for a possible historical site classification!
Thanks Al

Ill defiantly use the photos with the tower and the asphalt donut. Do you have any old trophies from Middlesex with a date or a magazine article from the 70's.

If you hear of any specific mag issues with any pictures you can use, I can provide copies for you. I've seen the tower in Windy videos but those probably aren't old enough for you. Are you just looking in the 1970s era?
Type at you later,

Thanks Dan, going back 50 years would be ideal. Here is my son in 2004 holding two trophies, which I have.

Looks like the football bleachers in the background which is good to identify our field.
Thanks Al

Is anyone still looking? Photos would be very helpful in documenting the historical date of the field.

Bob, what length of lines would that circle accommodate? Nice plane.

If there are any living relatives of Gus, perhaps they saved something. I remember attending a meet there in either 1969 or 1970 and there was coverage. If the Middlesex township library has micriofiche files from local papers during those years, there just might be newspaper clippings of the club's activities.

Al In the 1990s when visiting Binghamton from my home in Florida I drove down to a contest at a city or state park in NJ . There was a big turn out on a somewhat poor weather day. i do have some pictures from that day. I sat round between flight talking with Larry about bicycles as I use to buy Schwinn Paramount bikes from him when I lived in Binghamton in the 1960's No one new me except Larry and he remembered me from contest in 1950's. as you can see I won old time stunt ,classic and I was third ahead of Windy in expert. I used this very old Viking for all events.

You might try to contact Windy and see if he has any video or photos of the early contests.
Best, DennisT

What’s the story on the “tower”? Looks like a full scale racing pylon?
Interesting looking field.
