News Article:
On April 17, the Plum Island Airport is celebrating the centennial of New England's first flying field. On that date in 1910, Augustus M. Herring piloted the first flight at the Plum Island flying field established by W. Starling Burgess, a Marblehead yacht builder.
The Newbury airfield will be the centerpiece of the celebration, with a fly-in, open house at the Burgess Aviation Museum, and other activities, beginning at 10 a.m. At 11 a.m. there will be a commemoration and unveiling of a historic marker at the 1910 flying field site, as well as a fly-over of the site by four historic aircraft.
Burgess' flying field was located about two miles east-south-east of the current Plum Island Airport, within the what is now the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge.
