I came upon this neat website when I was still living in Princeton, New Jersey: www.airfields-freeman.com

This is a good one, too.  I thought it was fascinating that the old Pittsburgh airport terminal was just sitting there behind some chain link fencing, rotting.

Abandoned airfields are always a nice thing to discover while flying over on Google Earth.

Berlin's Tempelhof was converted into a public park, but lost of the infrastructure is left intact. Great place to bike around.

Ah, Berlin is on my/our bucket list. Thanks for sharing.

I used it to read some info on NJ, NY, PA, CT, DE, and MD.

I was reading an article about the Oakland A's latest stadium proposal, looked up the area on Google Earth, saw an apparently abandoned airport nearby, and wondered what it was. Then I remembered this thread and the above link. The former Alameda Naval Air Base, among other names...
