I wonder if the naval air station runway was still intact enough to avoid a disaster.

During the 1995 50 year anniversary celebrations for the end of WWII, I witnessed a B-29 Superfortress land and take off from that strip. It then proceeded to buzz the tower at JFK....twice. lol

I doubt that it is good or long enough to handle a 747, but I’m NO expert.

There were a lot of vintage aircraft in the NYC area at that time. One day there was a fly-by of the City down the Hudson by all the craft...a parade in the sky.
