Wow this is fascinating. What an absolutely awful location for an airport!

Tbf, at the time the airport was sited, they couldn't possibly have predicted the future needs of aviation. ORH was actually one of my favorite airports to land at (I no longer fly). You fly right over a major city which is a rare privilege, and that runway looks like it's just waiting for you. I might be nostalgic because that's where I did most of my training. 🙂

Thanks cool background! Thanks.

I’d love to take some flying lessons one day.

Schedule a discovery flight with an instructor. They used to be about $100 for a one hour lesson. You'll get to fly the plane and really experience flying. Even if this is as far as you go it's worth it.

Happy skies.
