Francis S. Gabreski Airport
Located since 1943 in Westhampton Beach, NY, on eastern Long Island, this airport has its own online complaint form and a page showing voluntary noise abatement procedures for airplanes and helicopters.
The airport's history according to its site:
- "In 1943, the Federal government built the airport for use as an Air Force base during World War II. After the war, it was given to Suffolk County. In 1951 it was reclaimed for the Korean War National Emergency. In 1960, it was leased by the US Air Force for an Air Defense Command Base, deactivated in 1969, then released back to Suffolk County in 1970. The airport was renamed in 1991 in honor of Col. Francis S. Gabreski, a former base commander and World War II air ace".
