Thanks for your response, Justin. Actually Mustin Field is NOT the same as Philadelphia Seaplane Base, it is located just NORTH (NE by the compass) of PHL & in...
I am looking for historical photos and charts of Palwaukee Airport (Now called Chicago Executive Airport) in Wheeling Illinois. Specifically I am looking for...
I would just take a quick guess that you could ferret that information from either the Chicago's engineering office, or their Airports Boss engineering dept....
I have just posted the history of OLF Livermore on the California State Military Museum's website. Check out http://www.militarymuseum.org/NOLFLivemore.html ...
Much appreciated, but can you make a map of the location? I think the old airfield became the FCC monitoring site. Looking at Google Earth, the FCC area is...
Dan's web page clearly & accurately reports the current status of the OLF Livermore. The FCC Monitoring Post is on the grounds of the NAS Livermore's former...
Here's a link to a new updated history for Kirkwood Auxiliary Field: http://www.militarymuseum.org/KirkwoodAuxField.html Daniel M. Sebby, CSM (CA) Curator and...
nice history piece, but you might want to correct the spelling of "hangar" a hanger is something you put clothes on, a hangar is place to store an aircraft. --...

I have been tying to post as much of this type of data as it pertains to California on our website http://www.militarymuseum.org/HistoryPosts.html Mel Shettle...
Dan, I can't believe it. I've visited the California site many times. The first time was when researching Treasure Island as I had been stationed there and ...
Ken: It's my understanding that the Salton Sea water level is indeed rising and is slowly reclaiming the base. The old airstrip appears to be there but it...
A brief article in Friday's SF Chronicle stated that the Salton Sea water level is actually lowering, & it poses a threat to lots of migratory birds that use...
John, Thank you for your info on NAAS Salton Sea. It makes sense why I can't match up the WWII photograph with Google. NAAF Borrego has become a complete...
Tim, Thanks for your information. There seems to be several places located along the Salton Sea I would personally like to pore over. They're probably not...
Thanks, John Voss. I went back to Paul Freeman's "Abandoned Airfields" and I believe you're correct that a NAAF Borrego did not exist. NOLF Borrego Hotel or...
I have in my data base for WW2 airfields (see www.airfieldsdatabase.com <http://www.airfieldsdatabase.com/> ). There was a Navy OLF labeled Borego (I don't...

Galeville is a little hard to find. I think it is almost straight west of the village of Walkill. The hangars were still there at Walden 2-3 years ago. Just...
I soloed at Highland Airport in 1957. A couple of months ago I bought some pictures of Highland on ebay that were probably taken in the early 50's. Some other...
John, Wow! Thank you for the information as I only had half of them, actually five of the twelve. Just when one thinks they're caught up on research, other...
