Reply to @meredith: Oh, and I also took horseback riding lessons at Misty Manor Farm across from the airfield. 40 years later and I'm realizing I don't know how the horses handled the planes coming and going! The airport's owner, Al Bassler, wrote a book about Howard County history a couple of years ago at the young age of 97.
My mom used to have a small business selling planes and she sold out of Haysfield. This was also a great place to see Halley's Comet back in 1986, at the time the light pollution was pretty low. It's a bummer to see the location marker on top of a housing development in the satellite view.
