FBF is at least as important as Meigs Field used as an example of a "High" importance article, and FBF is likely of much more historical significance. The article may not be extensive enough to adequately indicate the historical significance, but a facility of such importance and connection to general aviation, commercial aviation, military aviation, Naval Air Stations, law enforcement aviation, Coast Guard aviation, air races, technological development, helicopter development (the article does not yet mention Sykorsky at FBF), popular culture, and historic preservation deserves at least a "High" rating, and likely higher. The dozens of aviation records and "firsts" set here alone make it deserving of a "High" importance rating. Compared to Meigs, FBF is at least still in existance!

floyd bennett field was the home of the 106 aero medical evacuation wing to the air national guard,from the 50s to the early 60s, after which the wing was transferred to long island n.y. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.76.240 ( talk) 13:47, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
"CGAS Brooklyn" now redirects here. Floyd Bennett Field is named as CGAS Brooklyn in some directories and games including Microsoft Flight Simulator. Dreammaker182 ( talk) 08:09, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
This is inaccurate, there is at least on other overnight campsite within New York City. The Greater New York Councils of the Boy Scouts of America maintains The William H. Pouch Camp in Staten Island, NY. Pouch Camp provides overnight camping facilities for both Boy Scout units and for other organizations that provide trained adult leadership.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you know that a series of photos have been donated to Wikimedia Commons by the Smithsonian Archives of American Art and a few of them include images from the murals at Floyd Bennett Field. Perhaps they'll be of use to contributors of this article, or just something neat to look at :) You can view them here! -- SarahStierch ( talk) 20:10, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
I'm looking for an article to review for GAN because I submitted an article myself and although it's not a requirement, I support the quid pro quo. As an experienced editor and GA reviewer, I highly recommend that you remove the GAN. I'm inclined to fail it, but I hesitated because a failed nom is never a good thing. You should remove the GAN because this article is way too long; that's the reason it's languished so long at GAN. At almost 75,500 characters, it's a perfect article to split into several articles. For example, out of the first section, "History", you could create a new article, History of Floyd Bennett Field, today. I'm happy to assist in any way; please let me know how.

This is my preliminary review only, I will revisit the page regularly over the coming days. My main concern is the "notable flights" section which is very disorganised and potentially overly long. I would recommend a maximum of 10-12 listing of only basic information about the most important flights. Additionally the lead needs citations.
in the Notable Flights section, there's no airfield at Moylgrove (Wales) nor anywhere suitable to land even a light aircraft. I suspect that the reference to this (which looks valid) is either mistaken, or there was a crash landing. Gilgamesh4 ( talk) 03:28, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
Went over to Floy Bennett Field yesterday, got some pictures of some of the abandoned buildings, nature area, and beach area. Seems like some may belong in the article, but the article is fairly well illustrated as it is, and it's a GA, so I'll just put this link here: commons:Category:Photographs taken by Rhododendrites - Floyd Bennett Field. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:17, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
