Here's something interesting, but can be very time consuming, depending on your interest level. It's a website with a US state by state list of 1,982 abandoned airports, many of them military, with old and new photographs of the facilities and planes.

I've been to that site numerous times. My uncle Joe's old airport has a big entry. No direct link to Zahn's Airport. You have to search for the name in the page.
He owned an apple orchard on Long Island not too far from NYC, and in 1936 he put in an airstrip in his orchard. It got more and more popular, and he wound up expanding the place and basically cutting down the whole orchard. He sold it in the 1950's but it kept his name. At one point, it was the busiest private airport in the US. It closed in 1980. I've got a vague memory of visiting it as a kid. Just going to the parking lot and looking at a hangar with my uncle's name on the roof. I've got more vivid memories of visiting my aunt Emma and uncle Joe at their house on the water in Long Island. They had a big boat in a canal behind their house, and they took us out on the water for the day one time. He did well financially, turning that orchard outside NYC into an airport and selling it. It's a shopping mall or industrial park now, but I understand there's a hunk of concrete behind one of the stores that was part of one of the old hangers. That's my uncle on the right.

I have a few links for you today:
The Dark Side Of Funny: Growing Up In George Carlin's Shadow ************ Have you wondered whatever happened to Joe Pesci? ************ A pretty decent interview with Lemmy Kilmister, of Motörhead. I say it's a decent interview, because, well, how many Lemmy interviews have you read? Quote:

Hey, remember The Time A Tanker Saved A Fighter That Was Falling Apart Over The Atlantic, by towing it 160 miles to Gander, Newfoundland using the refueling boom?

That's nuts. But so is air to air refueling, for that matter.
