I don't think Northrup ever had a plant on Long Island. The two main airframe |
|
manufacturers there were (Fairchild)/Republic which closed its doors after the |
|
T-46 cancellation, and Grumman (which is still hanging on last I time I called). |
|
I think Sperry also started there. If you're ever in the area check out the |
|
Cradle of Aviation Museum at Mitchell field (now mostly parking lots behind the |
|
Nassau Coliseum and the community college). Good display of vehicles from Long |
|
Island, including a LEM flight article. |
