    Thanks to material submitted by readers, the historical content on www.airfields-freeman.com has continued to expand: In the past 3 months, a total of 35 additional airfields have been added to the website, bringing the site's total of airfields covered to 1,996, across all 50 states. Many of the existing writeups have been updated with new material, with a total of over 30,723 airfield pictures now on the site.

    So if you haven't visited www.airfields-freeman.com in a while, come back & see how much interesting aviation historical material has been added to the site.

    Thanks!

    The historical content on www.airfields-freeman.com continues to grow. with two recent sources of a significant amount of historical pictures & information. In addition to other readers' contributions of material, two readers of the site, Kevin Walsh & David Stevenson, have recently contributed a treasure trove of material which has started to appear on the site & will continue to be added to the site over the coming month. I appreciate the flow of pictures & material from everyone else, as www.airfields-freeman.com is truly a collaborative project. The site's total of airfields covered now includes 2,068 airfields, across all 50 states.

    If you haven't visited www.airfields-freeman.com in a while, take a look to see what's been added.

    Very cool site. Still missing a few airports I remember though. Wonder how many others remember them.

    The historical content on www.airfields-freeman.com continues to grow, with many recent significant submissions of historical material from readers. The site's total of airfields covered now includes 2,101 airfields, across all 50 states. This includes new additions describing former airfields in California, Pennsylvania, and other states, new images of Meigs Field IL & Haley AAF IL, and updates to many other articles describing former airfields. If you have applicable material, particularly pictures, please let me know!




    So if you haven't been to the website in a while, come take a look at what's been added!

    While not abandoned I had the pleasure of landing my Cherokee several years ago at the old Kinross/Kincheloe AFB in upper Michigan where I spent a couple of very cold winters as a young airman working on the flight line during the late 1950's. It was a F102 base then and I think I landed directly on the end of the runway and taxied about two miles. I was also up there for a KK veterans reunion about 2000.
    If God had intended man to fly He would have given us more money!

    Paul, your site is great and I have contributed to you in the past. A search function would make it all that better. Glenn
