Where to Go?
During the 1940s and 50s, the airport was a busy place with students learning to fly on the GI Bill. Both ABC and NBC news frequently chartered flights to catch late breaking news stories or take photographs from the air. In fact, Edward R Murrow, the famous newscaster, was a frequent passenger, requesting Brinckerhoff to ferry him to cover his many news stories.
With Brinckerhoff's sons taking over the operations at the airport, the Brinckerhoff Flying Service continued to manage the field until the early 1970s. Other aviation companies such as Loving Helicopter Service and Executive Aviation provided airplane rides, lessons, rentals and sales. |
