<p class="blog-para">Albany International was the first, and remains the oldest, municipal airport in the United States.</p>
<p class="blog-para">In 1908 the airstrip was on a former polo field on Loudonville Road, 3 miles (4.8 km) north of the city in the town of Colonie. In 1909 the airport moved to Westerlo Island, in the city of Albany, but at that time was in the town of Bethlehem; the airport was named at this time. The airport was named after Teddy Roosevelt's son, Quentin, a fighter pilot during World War</p>
<p class="blog-para">A$10,000 prize was established for sustained flight between Albany and New York City; Glenn Curtiss achieved this on May 29, 1910. Other early pioneers of aviation that stopped in this early field were Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, and James Doolittle.</p>
