NEW WINDSOR, N.Y. (AP) — The passenger terminal at Stewart International Airport used to be a parachute packing plant. One of the entry roads is lined with abandoned, boarded-up military barracks. New York City is more than 60 miles away.
But the former Air Force base has a runway long enough to land a space shuttle, four times as much land as LaGuardia, half a billion dollars to work with and, perhaps, a bright future as a regional airport.
