+== Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields ==
+© 2002, © 2026 by Paul Freeman. Revised 6/13/26.
+*** Dedicated in the memory of my father, Harris Freeman (1929-2010), who supported my interest in aviation ever since I was a little boy. ***
+“History & mystery combined.”
+On the following pages, you will find information on vanished or abandoned airfields & their unusual histories.
+As a pilot, a particular interest of mine has always been the abandoned airfields that dot the landscape of much of this country.
+Both for their potential safety value to a pilot in an emergency, and also for their sometimes fascinating history, this particular topic has always held my curiosity.
+When I'm a passenger on commercial flights, I've always found myself looking out the window, constantly looking for airfields below.
+When I fly as a pilot myself, I've always tried to land at as many airports as possible,
+to learn a little about each one.
