History
In the early 1940's, based in Florida, Louis Mancuso was teaching British Royal Air Force cadets in Stearmans and AT-6s. Louis accumulated thousands of hours as a CFI during the war years. After the war Louis returned to Long Island and in 1946 established Deer Park Airport and Mid Island Air Service. Mid Island graduated hundreds of vets under the GI bill. In 1964 a satellite operation was started at the Brookhaven Airport. By 1967, the flight school grew to over twenty planes and logged over twenty thousand hours. By the early 70's, growing real estate taxes would cause Lou to sell the Deer Park property and relocate Mid Island to MacArthur Airport.
