This from NY 1:
Former Knicks player John Starks helped
inaugurate a basketball court, the latest addition to the new Aviator
Sports and Recreation facility at Floyd Bennet Field. The
state-of-the-art sports complex inside an old airplane hangar will have
its grand opening later this month, but parts of it are already
operating. Reporters got a tour of the center Thursday, the same day
Madison Square Garden announced it is becoming a partner in the
operation."Aviator presents an enormous opportunity for the residents of
Brooklyn and parts of Queens to experience a world class facility that
rivals anything else operating today, with the additional benefit of
the unique association with Madison Square Garden and its sports
teams,” said President of MSG Sports Steve Mills.
Great place Aviators at Floyd Bennet Field –with all that space why don’t they have an olympic size pool!!! They just spent $66 million dollars for one in Queens!!!!

Just found your blog. As a former Brooklyn boy (now Beverly Hills, CA), I’m enraptured. I grew up not far from Floyd Bennett Field and haven’t seen any of the new facility. I wonder if it’s great that it’s there — or just another example of commercialization?

Will Aviator have a Physical Rehabilitation capability?
