This summer, the operators of Princeton Airport have opened their doors to visitors to see and experience the daily operations of the airfield.

Princeton Airport is offering free tours during the months of July and August. Tours are scheduled for Tuesday morning beginning at 10:30 a.m.

Tours will address the past 103 years of the airport’s history, explore the present day-to-day operations and facilities, as well as take a glimpse into the future of Princeton Airport.

Visitors will view different aircraft based at the field, including homebuilt, experimental and aerobatic aircraft, by walking around the airport and watching the arrivals and departures from the airport’s two runways.

The tour also includes a visit to the maintenance hanger to show the public how and why the aircraft must comply with the stringent Federal Aviation Regulations.

During the tour, visitors may be invited to sit inside an airplane to see how the controls work.

Tours take approximately one hour and will not be conducted during inclement weather.

As a privately owned, public use facility, Princeton Airport provides many services to the Central Jersey area. Among those services are flight training for careers, business or pleasure in both airplanes and helicopters; sales and services of new and used airplanes; private helicopter charter; indoor and outside parking of aircraft; and a pilot shop for the aviation enthusiast.

Princeton Airport is located at 41 Airpark Road in Montgomery Township.
