Here's another before and after... VFR Airspace maps from 1960 to 2020.
I cant zoom in clearly.. but I cant see Floyd Bennet Field.. its now a part of the National Park service Gateway National Park

I enjoy looking at old maps trying to see how perspective and renderings have change, and following modernization and growth..

Old map of Long Island.. Major roads are proposed or under construction..







Lindberg and Earhart took off from here, North on the map is Old Country Rd, west is Stewart Ave.. East is East Gate Blvd





This one is really old.. The areas called Hazlehurst, Camp Mills. and Av field 5, became Roosevelt Field and Mitchell Field..

I grew up in Freeport
