Hollingshead Airport (FAA Identifier NJ25) is a privately owned Restricted Use Airport located in Clarksboro, New Jersey. It was previously know as Peaslees Airfield.[1] It is located on the former estate of Ambassador Amos J. Peaslee.[2][3] Hollingshead Airport is located 4.7 nautical miles from Philadelphia International Airport. The Airport is situated inside the Class B airspace for Philadelphia International Airport.[4] It is the only Restricted Use airport in The United States within Class B Airspace.[5] The airport and the first hanger were designed by Vincent Kling, a well know Philadelphia architect and avid privet pilot[6], who oversaw many of the renovations and additions on the Peaslee estate[7]. Kling would later go on to author the Master Plan for Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.[8] During construction of the airport tower, Amos J. Peaslee had the workmen install a stone from the Great Wall of China, which he had obtained during a visit to the wall[9] (see photos).
