The NPS and Aviator began their relationship in 2003. By combining Floyd Bennett Field’s original hangars they created one of the largest sports complexes in the country. History buffs will revel in the knowledge that Floyd Bennett Field’s past has been well preserved by the National Park Service which maintains a collection of its historic aircraft on display in a 1950s era nose hangar.
