Roosevelt Field

[cashflyer]

Here are a couple of photos I found online of Roosevelt Field.

As an airfield, the land served as the take-off site of many famous aviators such as Amelia Earhart and Wiley Post. Charles Lindbergh's solo translatlantic flight took off from Roosevelt Field in 1927. The field was originally named Hazelhurst Field and was renamed in honor of Theodore Roosevelt's son Quentin, who died in World War I. The airfield was closed in 1951.

Roosevelt Field is now the second-largest high-end shopping mall in the state of New York, and tenth largest in the United States as measured by gross leaseable area at 2,244,581 ft².

Prior to April 1917, the field was known as Hepstead Plains Aerodrome.
