Affordable Housing to Replace The Flying W Airport and Resort
Several news organizations, including Pine Barrens Tribune, are reporting that the end of the road (or would that be runway?) is near for the Flying W.
Back on July 7th, the Medford Town Council passed resolutions designating a developer to build affordable housing units on the site of the Flying W. The entire property will be converted once site plans are approved.
The airport property includes resort-style amenities aimed at pilots and the community in general. There is resort pool on site, a restaurant and more.
The Flying W's website offers that a Bacon, Boubon, and Brews Festival is happening at the resort on September 12tn. There is no word on the site about the closing.
Country Music Singer Killed in Crash At Airport
Country music's Troy Gentry was killed in a helicopter crash on the property on September 8, 2017. Gentry was half of the popular country music duo, Montgomery Gentry. They were scheduled to do a concert at the Flying W that evening.
