It's a little general aviation field. Just a few two and four seater piston aircraft, (and a dozen of so ultralights), are based there. Too there is a small commercial airport 12 miles in one direction, and larger one about 20 in the other and two major regional/"international" airports in within 75 miles. This field is mostly open space with the added advantage that you can fly a light plane from it. The airports in Hartford, (Conn) and Providence, (RI) are where the expansion will cause the loss of homes. Besides which Yuppies can live anywhere.
