Floyd Bennet Field - H.A.R.P. - Image Heavy
I was passing Floyd Bennet Field and I saw an NYPD helicopter unit training. After taking a few photos I found Brooklyn's best kept aviation secret.
H.A.R.P. - Historical Aviation Restoration Project. There are approximately a dozen vintage aircraft in various stages of repair stuffed into Hanger B at Floyd Bennet Field.
The building is old and leaking but the collection is amazing. The were a lot of volunteers on hand. (The exhibit is open Tues, Thus and Sat 10-3:30)

Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter
This was by far the highlight for me - They say they hope to have this fly out in a few months. I would really love to be there and see that takeoff
