Varoittava esimerkki, mitä Malmille ei saa tapahtua.

[Erkki Mikola 1]

Tuli taas surffailtua vanhojen lentokenttien perässä.

Ja osuin tällaisille sivuille, missä on todella hätkähdyttäviä kuvia Amerikan ihmemaasta.

Mitä siellä on päässyt tapahtumaan v. 1927 perustetulle lentokentälle, joka kävi muka tarpeettomaksi.

Peter Zaremba, writing in the April 22-29 Time Out New York, reports that Flushing Airport was opened in 1927 as Speed's Airport (named for former owner Speed Hazlik.) It became the busiest airport in New York City for a time. But, North Beach Airport opened in 1939 and, as LaGuardia Field, it quickly took business away from the older airfield. As the neighborhood around the airport was gradually built up, the airport became a liability. A fatal crash in the 1970s convinced locals that it should be closed, and it was in 1984.
