Wikipedia: For the military use of this facility, see Stewart Air National Guard Base Stewart International Airport is located west of Newburgh, New York, in the southern Hudson Valley, 60 miles (88.5 km) north of New York City and, 15 miles (23 km) southwest of Poughkeepsie, New York. Originally developed in the 1930s as a military base to allow cadets at the nearby United States Military Academy at West Point to learn aviation, it has over the years grown into the major passenger airport for the mid-Hudson region and continues to serve as a military airfield as well, currently housing the 105th Airlift Wing of the New York Air National Guard and Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 452 (VMGR-452) of the United States Marine Corps Reserve. The space shuttle could also land at Stewart in an emergency.
