Abandoned Airfields

Aviation tells a story. . .

Dotted all around the United States and its territories are over 2,800 now closed or forgotten airfields. Each has a story to tell of the people who flew there, the rise and fall of an aviation community, and the ways that a small airstrip (or a massive Air Force Base) can affect the people who lived near it.

You can explore this site by searching for different airfields by name, or check out the interactive map of all the fields, and choose any one to take a closer look at!
