    Farmingdale Airport History or Hoax?

    I found out that there was a Basement at the AAM and there are a bunch of rooms that may
    be used soon again. The most interesting part was to find out that supposedly, at the end of
    the war they did not need all the extra engines they had from war production of the
    Thunderbolt and dumped some in the large space they needed to fill with cement to take up
    space and use less cement than normally needed.
    It is believed that the space is located next to this boiler


    Anyone know an old Republic employee from that time?
    Anyone know how we can find out about this?
    Anyone have a portable side scanning sonar device?
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    i've never had the opportunity to explore that basement. aside from the head and the NFI classrooms i havent walked around there. then again, that was years ago...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
