Brookhaven Calabro Airport (WSH/KHWV) is a town-owned public-use airport in Shirley, New York, on Long Island's South Shore. Opened in the 1940s, it serves general aviation with two paved runways and is a base for flight training, private flying, and recreational aircraft. It offers a quieter alternative to Long Island MacArthur Airport and is convenient to the east end of Long Island via Sunrise Highway.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors fuel up early and check NOTAMs for glider activity, since weekend flight-training traffic can make the pattern busy by mid-morning.
🚖 Getting There
By car, take Sunrise Highway (NY-27) to William Floyd Parkway (CR-46) and follow airport signs into Shirley. The nearest Long Island Rail Road station is Mastic-Shirley on the Montauk Branch, but you will still need a taxi or rideshare for the short trip to the airport. There is no direct public bus service to the terminal, so pre-arranged ground transportation is the most reliable option.
