Geocache Description:


This the Bonus for the Adventure Lab of Mitchel Field Airforce Base.  You will need to first complete the Adventure Lab, where the coordinates to this cache will be given.  The cache cannot be found at these given coordinates. 
Since it's closure in 1961, Mitchel Field and the airfield has been redeveloped into athletic fields, 2 college campuses, museums, office and retail buildings. Most of the land of this base were the air runways. There are some remnants of the original runway left, if you know where to look.  The virtual coordinates listed on this cache is one of the areas where the original runway remained, however, at the time of writing, there has been more construction in the area, and more of the runway has been lost.  This area of the runway, at the virtual posted coordinates, is the the tollbooth scene from the 1972 movie, "Godfather".  The scene shot at this location, is where "Sonny Corleone" was violently murdered by multiple gunfire at the toll booth. 
Again, you will need to complete the Adventure Lab, Mitchel Field Air Force Base to find the cache. The final location is another area of the Mtchel Field runway that still remains.
