Abandoned & Little Used Airfields

Posted by Hemos on from the looking-into-the-past dept.

KiranWolf writes "I ran across this page doing some research on a local historical landmark. It has detailed histories and photos of more than 500 abandoned and little used airfields throughout the U.S., many of them dating back to the heyday of aviation. It's rather amazing how many small unknown airfields dot the landscape."

    After you lose your job and get kicked out of your home/apt you can move to an abandoned airfield and live in a little shanty like the old Hoovervilles back in the depression era.

    I'm printing out all the local maps right now. Thanks slashdot!!!
