I really wrestled with the photo situation on this one. At first, I wanted to go all out and use my own pictures — and trust me, I’ve got thousands of them from most of these towns. I ended up spending about an hour just trying to sift through the chaos of my files, and honestly, it was like falling down a scenic rabbit hole. There are so many shots I want to share, but the reality is, it’s going to take me hundreds of hours to organize everything properly. One day I’ll get there. For now, I decided to keep it simple and pull some stills from a few great local YouTube videos. It’s not my full vision just yet, but it gets the job done. So, here’s just a taste — more to come when I finally tame the photo beast.

8 Fun Facts About Danbury Airport

I think there are a handful of places in Danbury that residents are really curious about but never bother to look into, one of those places is the Danbury Airport. We pass it on the way to the mall, or leaving after a day of shopping. We look down on it from Route 7 and wonder about it, but most of us simply don’t know.

Thankfully, we have Mike Allen who made the airport the subject of the most recent episode of “The Place You Live”. On Tuesday (2/1/22), Allen shared his research with us and these are 8 fun facts we learned about Danbury Airport.
