Horsham Air Guard Station (AGS) PA 19044
This is the new name for the old Willow Grove NAS.
I have found out that this location no longer has Space A. However the information provided here is still good for the local area in case you do visit around there.
Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove was a Naval Air Station owned by the U.S. Navy and located in Horsham Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States four miles (6 km) northwest of the central business district of Willow Grove, which is north of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The installation was transferred to the Pennsylvania Air National Guard and the name changed to the Horsham Air Guard Station after the U.S. Navy departed in 2011. Flight activity began here in 1926 when Harold Frederick Pitcairn constructed a hangar and a grass airstrip in Horsham, Pennsylvania. The name “Willow Grove” came from the nearest town. At the time, Horsham was a rural township with little significance.
