Air Harbor Airport ~W88~ is a great place for small plane enthusiasts. As you can see from the above photo, it is also a great place to watch the coming and going of aviators. The picture windows provide a great view. Located 6 miles north of downtown Greensboro, this 2,460 ft. runway is open to the public and sells fuel. It is privately owned and, quite popular with the people who keep their planes on property.
If you are ever looking for something to do, especially with young children, head out to Air Harbor Airport and spend some time watching planes coming and going. Weekends are usually busiest. The airport sits on 36 acres on Air Harbor Road. It opened in 1946. Let's hope that it is still thriving in another 70 years!
There's a small airport in the northeast part of the city that caters to single engine light aircraft- and features an aviation museum too. I'm reminded of it looking at this.
