Yes it would be a shame but last time I was there (4 years ago) the
writing was on the wall. I flew in there 3 or 4 times for the nearby
attractions but ended up flying into an airport on the Chambersburg side
where I felt a little more secure leaving my airplane. BTW, what
happened to Doersom? Wasn't that a nearby airport too?

Anyway, it's short for many, was in poor shape, and the 'transportation
company' aka taxi company, couldn't get out of their own way.

I hate to see any airport die. Check it out while you can but be
careful in there.

I flew from my home base in
the good old ADIZ at Gaithersburg, Maryland to Gettysburg Travel
Center, W05. It's pretty close to the monument, a 3,100 X 60' strip
(but with a threshold displaced 542' due to houses having been built
just about at the end of the runway (!).

It would be a real shame to lose a GA airport next to an historic
attraction like this. I hope someone buys it and keeps it going. In
the meantime, if you are looking for a daytrip in the area, I recommend
you check it out.
