Trade Wind Airport
Trade Wind Airport is an airfield in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, located in Dukes County on the Island of Martha's Vineyard.
The airfield has been in operation since at least 1938. It has two turf runways, numbered 6/24 and 13/31. Only runway 6/24 is currently in use. There is a hangar on the property, but there are currently no fueling or hangar facilities available. No overnight parking of planes is allowed, so planes must leave the same day. Aircraft wishing to park overnight use one of the other two airports on the island, Martha's Vineyard Airport or Katama Airpark.
The airport is on 71.9 acres of land known as the Trade Wind Fields Preserve, and is owned and operated by the Martha's Vineyard Land Bank Commission.
The airport is privately owned, public use. Landing is allowed only after receiving a permission-to-land email from the Land Bank. Pilots request permission in advance using a form on the Land Bank's web site. Permission-to-land emails are valid until December 31 and must be renewed annually.External Links
