I landed at Maxson Field, Alexandria Bay, New York, 89NY, July 27, 2012 and was pleased to find that there’s a new owner/operator of the field who is making efforts to improve conditions.

He’s a recent pilot, and bought the airport to make sure it was available for his C182 trips from Oneida to the Thousand Islands.

He’s quite strict on PPR (prior permission required) and insists that every user sign his waiver before landing at Maxson.

No fuel available; three tiedowns on the grass, or provide your own tiedowns on the grass.

Contact Info:

Tiedown fee: $35/night or $150/week
Check for runway closure; Dave plans to repave later this summer.

Nice to see an airport being saved so we can all use it!

That is good news. We flew up to Watertown (friendly FBO, although rental cars were a pain) a few weeks ago, stayed in Alexandria Bay and did take a run out to Maxson. Looked deserted, and never did find anyone there. Considering the potential tourist traffic, may turn out to be a good investment! I wish him the best!!

Didn't someone try to start a helicopter school at Maxson a few years ago? Whatever happened to that?

Don't know, as of July 3 the place was deserted, weeds 3 feet high and a chain across the driveway.
