Closing Bell: Scouting NY Goes to Floyd Bennet Field

A couple days ago Scouting New York posted a fantastic photo essay exploring the Floyd Bennett Field, NYC’s first-ever airport on the southern end of Brooklyn. The essay is full of historical photographs, arial views, and shots of the many abandoned buildings still on site. There’s also a great shot inside Hanger B, a building home to a volunteer aircraft restoration program and often open to the public. His suggestion: “As soon as the days start getting warmer, pick a Saturday, pack a lunch, get a bike, and head out to Floyd Bennett. BUT DON’T PLAN A ROUTE!! Instead, feel your way to FBF. Starting from, say, the Brooklyn Bridge, your goal should simply be to head South and East. Try to resist checking your map as much as possible.” Sounds good to us!
