- Scenes of the decaying surroundings from April 2013. The area is being re-purposed into a new residential community.
A large majority of the main runways remain, as does the original hangar and control tower. A newer tower was built nearby just before closure, but was never outfitted and used.

My father used to have clearance to the base.... Took me there when I was a young boy when it was about to close.... Too bad all the memories will be paved over with condos, that's all we need is just more condos :/
LunarKnight101 That's awesome! Was your Dad in the service? There is a new real estate developer in charge now, but most of the remaining base should be intact for a few years. Wish they retained the amazing blimp hangars. Would have loved to witness them!
Nah, His Father served in the navy from The incarnation of this base in world war 2, the korean war, and the vietnam war overseas. My dad got free medical care and got to go to the fitness center back in the 80s I have recently uploaded a video on youtube exploring the 2 towers. Couldnt get in though to much mesotheilioma and welded doors. Came from one of the tri-towns next to it: Abington. sixten3
I was stationed at NAS South Weymouth from 1988-91. I've got lots of good memories from my time there.
Was stationed there from 88-92 and the hangars were huge. I was in main supply and that was a huge wood structure.
I used to live next door to the base on white st. I have some old pics from 2006 that I'll dig up and post. I wish I kept the pics from the air shows in the 90s. My friend has pics of us as kids playing inside the youth center which is now the cat clinic.
You are a lucky fellow, I never got to experience this base I only get to see it lie in ruin.....

This is where my Dad used to work in the 70's. he was a USN ATC.
Very sad, I was stationed at AIMD and HSL-74 from 1985 to 1993. It was a great Air Station. I met Ted Kennedy there when Sowey was put on the chopping block and he helped save it for a few more years. The blimp hangers had rain storms in them....just kidding but they held P-3s just like Moffet Field Ca. did. I was station in VP-62 in Moffet. Great career in the Navy.
+Paul Peterson It would have been amazing to witness the hangars as you had. Given their massive size, I wouldn't be surprised if they contained storm fronts! Thank you for your service, Paul. Sounds like you had an exciting and fulfilling experience.
The lumber supporting the structure was massive. Do you know if the lumber was saved or the whole hanger was demolished?
Aside from remnants of the east-side hangar door tracks, there is nothing left of either hangar. Here's a photo of the tracks from 2013: www.flickr.com/photos/marcsenger/8627437687/sizes/l Unsure of how the lumber was used after demo.
My father was a stationkeeper at Squantum and South weymouth. I was in the Reserves in the 2 by 8 program. Many memories!
south Weymouth nas gone but not forgotten
Thx
Where is the location of those voltage buildings at #0:20? I live near the Naval Air Station and I am wondering if that building is still standing. Though I know that most of them have been demolished by now.
SE end off the north-south runway, right next to where the Patriot Day Watertown movie set used to be.
@@sixten3 Ah alright, is it still there or is it gone?
Last time I checked was a few months ago, and I vaguely remember it being there. Not 100% sure though.
@@sixten3 Alright, I assume that it is still standing. Thank you for the information.
Hey, can you please help me locate or give me coordinates of that road on 0:32?
+ChrisPlays781 Sure. It's at 42.156254, -70.949251. Construction has taken over this road completely since September, however. I doubt much of anything remains there.
hey do you have photos of inside the white tower, or the hanger?
Woah, that's gotta be the longest username ever. Here's an album of the control tower and other structures: www.flickr.com/photos/marcsenger/albums/72157650090512615
sixten3 Sorry man, it was my friend. now I have to wait 3 months to change this name :/. Thanks for the album!
Ah, well no prob. Impressed by the prank nonetheless!
:45 that's where my Dad worked, in that tower and I'd go there as an infant with my mother to pick him up.
Hey do you want to know where a bunker is, so you can take pictures? (there is no graffiti, vandalism or anything done to it.
+ChrisPlays781 Thanks for offering, but I'm not game for urbex anymore. Higher priorities to fulfill these days.
where is the bunker
Have u ever been in the control towers
swordfish xb Here are photos of the interior of the '50s tower > www.flickr.com/photos/marcsenger/sets/72157650090512615
Swordfish XB I have been inside. Sadly its under patrol. It is stripped or looted but its really nice.
Oh ya I've been in the white tower
+Chris playz me and swordfish are both friends, he's Zach in my video you commented on, we went up in mid July to the white tower, it's under patrol now, and is scheduled for demolishment now that the three towns have made a deal with Lstar for underground electricity and water infrastructure, so by mid 2016 we may see most of the buildings gone as thy start to redevelop...
+ViperGladiator its so sad their destroying all this wonderful history.
