I think Doersom is the same airport. I have a vague recollection of
seeing that name on a sign there. Poked around the web; one site ID'd
Doersom as W09, but that ID now belongs to an airport in Washington
state. I found a CAP list of airports in PA that lists W05 as Doersom
airport, and a site that described W05 as "Gettysburg Travel Center
(formerly Doersom Airport)."

Cheers,

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.
