Betty Sakuma:

"The hockey game was great but the drink and lobby need help. It's tired looking and no concessions were open."

"Enjoyed the park. A wonderful place to bike, explore and date if your partner enjoys exploration and camping?! Found a field area, model planes collectors were showing off their skills."

"Went to the back of the airfield to look at the water and feed the gulls. Some individuals with their fishing and took a couple of photographs. I wanted to see how much it has changed over the years. I once used to be stationed there for many years."

"Go to Hanger B if it is open. No disappointments will be found there, just great People. Only Disappointment was the control tower building was closed/inaccessible"

"This place is very nice and scenic and has many photo opportunity. There are many different car meets being held here by various groups all over New York City plus you get to watch the military as well which is kind of cool. I go here on the regular for weekly car needs and there is an abandoned runway which I wish they would open up for Drag Racing and grudge matches of the sort. Check out some of these photos I am sure you will like them."
