Muskeget Island Airport
Muskeget Island Airport (FAA LID: MA55) is a small privately owned turf landing strip 1100' in length x 25' in width (335m x 8m) located on Muskeget Island in the town of Nantucket. It is barely maintained and mostly overgrown, and although technically reserved for emergency use only, pilots using STOL aircraft will occasionally attempt to land there.
The airport, along with two-thirds of the island, are owned by retired reporter Crocker Snow Jr., whose father built the airstrip.
