Aerial Pictures

This photo shows the name changed from Gardenville Airport to Buffalo Air-Park from the painting on the Quonset hangar. The Operations building is still a single story, but the Maintenance shop is constructed next to the Quonset hangar. I am dating this between 1945-1949. (10)
BAP, April 1950. The second story has been added to the Operations building and a new hangar is constructed on the old “North” hangar concrete pad. (11)
A better view of the new “North” hangar and second story addition to the Operations building, BAP 1950. (12)

    Nice job Bill! You might want to mention the existence of the North/South runway (cross wind runway) that was in use until at least the mid 60’s. The housing developments put an end to that. 😠 You are truly doing justice.
