Muskeget Island Airport (FAA LID: MA55) is a small privately owned turf landing strip located on Muskeget Island in the town of Nantucket.[1] It is barely maintained and mostly overgrown, and although technically reserved for emergency use only, pilots STOL aircraft will occasionally attempt to land there.[2]
The airport, along with two-thirds of the island, are owned by retired reporter Crocker Snow Jr., whose father built the airstrip.[3]
