Goodspeed Airport

Goodspeed Airport Beautiful airport along the Connecticut River with a paved runway and seaplane base!

Set on 57 acres along the Connecticut River, Goodspeed Airport is a little haven for aviation in eastern Connecticut. With a 2,100' asphalt runway and 4,500' water runway, along with several banks of hangars, Goodspeed (42B) has recently come under new ownership and is looking to revitalize and renew the aviation community at the prettiest airport in the Northeast.
