So sorry to see the field and buildings in such disrepair. I used to fly C-119's out of here with the NYANG in the 60's. The Navy flew FJ Fury aircraft from the other side of the field. The old Ambrose lightship moored out in Jamaica Bay had an NDB that served as the final fix for the instrument approach. I currently fly out of Floyd Bennett Memorial field in the Adirondacks.
Thanks for the input, my error if I failed to mention the Marines and their presence on the property. The old airport has so many active uses that it was hard to fit it all into the twenty minutes I aim for in video length.
South Brooklyn has been neglected for 75 years. They could build homes and restaurants. They could create jobs there. But there's no big campaign money from there. So there's no improvements in transportation or opportunities.
John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Also across the way is a Marine Corps reserve unit station, I used to drill there
