I recently went to a rehearsal dinner for my friends wedding at the Tewksbury Country club which sits right where the old runway was.

This website has some history about some of the closed airports with some good photographs. Tew-Mac included!

I dont mean to derail this topic but I was at Tew-Mac during the 80's as well. What a great airport. Got my first taste of flying through Civil Air Patrol there. Met my wife (19 years ago) through working there part time for a summer.

Would be nice if M Boro airport rekindled some of that for us in the lakes region...

My father, John, met my mother through CAP in Tewksbury sometime in the 70's. He and Ron Emond operated Air Direct Airways out of there until the airport closed.

The business has since moved over to Nashua where Ron still operates.
