Ledyard has deep history in aviation

A strong feature of Ledyard is its ties to aviation. Off Angling Road, Ron Buxenbaum runs a private, grass airstrip which looks to be long enough to land a B-17, from World War II. Ron says the biggest plane to land there would be up to the largest twin engine private plane, now flying. Who knows how big a plane could get in during a crisis? Picture Charlton Heston at the controls of the 707, talking himself down.
