In 1971 Jack Hardy made improvements to a grass runway, that was surrounded by apples trees. Jack paved the runway, put lights in and began to operate the airport on a full time basis in 1974. There was a busy flight school, airplane charter operation, and also a banner tow operation. With the closure of Pease Air Force Base, located in Newington, New Hampshire which is 5 miles from Littlebrook Airpark, many civilian aircraft began to use this new civilian airport. Littlebrook Airpark was able to survive this transition, and the operations were scaled back to just flight instruction, and airport related business such as fuel sales, and hangar storage. In 2000, Jack died from cancer. We all still miss him.
