Latest photo of Ocean Ridge Airport (E55)
  • Ocean Ridge Airport (E55) - Nice airport but can be a bit (wind & turbulence) difficult at times. Also the south part of the runway is on a slope .This caused an accident (10-10-82 & 3-6-77) when 2 planes departed in opposite directions! Only good at airshows! - by S B J by S B J
