This is a small airport with no commercial flights, but now used more for small plane aficionados and hobbyists. It does have some history behind it, having served as a training ground for pilots during World War II. This day was more a family event with food, vendors, plane rides and tours, and you could take a look
into the cockpits of some of the planes. There was also an Albatros L-39 jet-powered fighter flown at one point by Major John Baum of the U.S. Air Force, a demonstration pilot and former member
of the Air Force's world-famous Thunderbirds team. Some older vintage aircraft on were on hand as well.
Taxiing down to the runway, the Susquehanna River is just beyond the treeline.
