Default abandoned airports?

Technically isn't it legal if a airport is abandoned to go on it with a car right? Well I just wondered if anyone knows of any airports that are abandoned in PA, preferably northeast PA?

I know of a good one, as long as it is completely shut down though. Let's just say it is scary as **** when your leaving at niht and you see a plane coming in for a touch and go. Haven't been back since lol cause it scared the living s#&t out of me.

I did see that video, but it just reminded me of all the other videos people have of doing burnouts and **** at abandoned airfields. PM me or show a google address of any in PA, preferably northeast PA. Lol id love to go "visit" a amazing landmark like that

umm...i dont know how true that is. we hit up and abandoned Airport in south Jersey (Bridgeton airport i think it was) about 8years ago and allthough the first nite was pretty good the local Police quickly shut it down and gave a bunch of people trespassing tickets.
it was definetly differant though....pitch black racing is not something i recommend though..lol.

If I was trying to do that, I'd be the one slammed into the side of the house or on the roof skidding towards the end of the road.

bridgeport cops like to give out trespassing tickets if you go to the one there so idk how legal it is to be there. it's literally right next to the police station the cops even play on it lol. i used to ride a go kart there and i know a bunch of guys that like to ride quads and dirtbikes there and get chased out all the time. last time i was there (3-4yrs ago) they had the 1/4 mile tagged start and finish, I wonder what they were doing there? lol id love to find another one to play on now in a car.

Using that site I found a couple near me that are actually paved. One is actually about 5 mins from my house. Problem is they are both near populated areas so having any kind of fun there is probably out of the question.
