Cross Keys Airport (FAA LID: 17N) is a public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.852 km) south of the Cross Keys area of Monroe Township in Gloucester County, New Jersey, United States. The airport is privately owned.[1] A skydiving operation is based at the airport.
History [edit]
Cross Keys Airport made international news on May 25, 2006 when several F-16 jets escorted a Cessna aircraft to land there after it strayed into a 30 mile restricted area temporarily imposed during the visit of President George W. Bush to a town in Pennsylvania. The pilot was said to be "in radio contact... compliant."[2]
