Colts Neck Airport
Colts Neck Airport

Colts Neck Airport (FAA LID: N61) was a small general-aviation airport in Colts Neck Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey. It was located just south of the village of Colts Neck at latitude 40.278° N, longitude 74.182° W (near the Route 537/Route 34 intersection). The airport featured turf (grass) runways and served local private and recreational flying (flight training, glider operations, banner towing, etc.) until its closure. At its peak in the 1970s–80s, dozens of light aircraft and sailplanes were based there. The field had minimal facilities: several small hangars (including T‑hangars and a wood-framed main hangar) and an unpaved taxiway. By contrast with larger airports, it had no paved runways, control tower, or advanced services; pilots used a common Unicom frequency and mostly did their own fueling and maintenance. Today, the site of the airport is home to Trump National Golf Club Colts Neck and a neighborhood of McMansions. Established in 1938, Colts Neck Airport first appeared on sectional charts shortly after World War II with a roughly 2,400 ft unpaved runway. Through the 1950s and 1960s it remained a modest grass field, featuring two sod runways arranged in a cross pattern. Activity grew in the 1960s: by 1963 the field accommodated a dozen light aircraft, and by 1970 it hosted over twenty airplanes along with a thriving glider‑towing operation. Under manager Paul Wille in the 1970s and early 1980s, fixed‑base operators Sky Advertising and Wilco Aviation provided flight instruction, banner‑towing, and fueling services. Suburban development pressures ultimately led to its sale to a private developer and formal closure in 2002. Within a decade, all airport structures were removed and the land was rezoned for residential use.
