High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Floyd Bennett Field, now defunct as an active airfield, was New York City's first municipal airport. Located in Brooklyn, it was created by connecting Barren Island to a number of smaller marsh islands by filling the channels between them with pumped sand from the water's bottom, and it is now physically part of Long Island. The airport was named after the famed aviator and Medal of Honor recipient Floyd Bennett (a Brooklyn resident at the time of his death from illness during a rescue attempt). It was dedicated on June 26, 1930, and officially opened on May 23, 1931. The IATA airport code was NOP but now uses the FAA Location Identifier NY22 for a heliport operated by the New York City Police Department.
