My mom sold planes here
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.
More aviation history about to be "redeveleoped"
This airport closed in November 2022 and is slated to be turned into a residential development. What a waste.
Why oh Why
Nooo! This is so sad...airports closing all over and no place for the little guy to learn flying..this will be a dead sport at this rate :(
Haysfield closed in 2013. It is now a housing development. I

Excellent breakfast at gas station, walking distance from FBO.
Great Little Airport!
Stopped in there on Saturday 9/26/15 for a BBQ they were having which we were told about at the Gettysburg Airport pancake breakfast. Everyone there was so nice and friendly. It felt like someone was having a BBQ in their backyard and Oh, by the way, we have an airport here too. They were even giving free plane rides.
Looks like a great place to have a house and have your plane in your own hangar at home.

Maryland Air (FBO)
Maryland Air is the FBO in the terminal building just NW of the approach end of Rwy 22. Visited 7/12-15/2010 in a C-182. They proved very helpful, friendly and courteous in providing rental car, a/c parking and directions. I'd use them again.
Kay's Restaurant
Very good. Seems to get a fair local non-airport trade in addition to itinerant pilots. The soft drinks are served in large mason jars, and the lemonade was delicious and welcome on a hot day. I had the ham-and-cheese club sandwich w/ fries. The tomato was fresh local produce; a good value at $6.50.
Another data anomaly
Not marked at closed in the FAA data, shown on the Baltimore-Washington TAC but not on the Washington Sectional.
Access severely restricted by ADIZ
This airport is one of the "DC-3", along with Hyde Field [W32] and Hyde Field [W32]. It lies inside the inner Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ) of the Washington DC ADIZ, and access is allowed only to pilots who have been pre-screened and obtained a special Personal Identification Number (PIN). This is in addition to the normal ADIZ procedures. As a result, it won't usually make sense for non-local pilots to try to use this airport.

— @meredith at Haysfield Airport, United States
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.
