Floods on the Airfield
Description
College Park Airport experienced severe flooding in August 1961. Most of the airfield was under water, right up to the railroad.
This was not the first time that College Park was affected by adverse weather. In 1942, it was hit with around two feet of snow which caused one of the hangars to collapse and damaged several planes.
