Mystery Logbook Airport - Was 26MA Pepperell, NH ever 5M6?

[PeteMc]

Anyone from the NH/New England area have any old Sectional or a good memory? 

Ran across an entry in my Logbook that shows 5M6, which now comes up as Sugar Springs Airpark, MI.  But I've got it in my logbook a few times and know it's near KASH and KFIT as I've got comments about going to lunch at KASH might been my shortest flight and I did a practice approach on the way back from "5M6" at KFIT.  So I either got it wrong the first time and just kept calling it 5M6, or the Airport was renamed.

So anyone have any old Charts or remember anything about Pepperell, NH (26MA).  Lot's of skydiving goes on there and I have another note that I took a friend up to pick up his new "rig" there.  So I'm pretty sure that's the airport.  But it could obviously be someplace else around KASH and KFIT.

Thx

 

ADDED:  I use to have a link saved for a site that had old Sectionals, but I can't seem to find it.  Anyone else ever been there and have the link?

CORRECTION: 5M6 is what is in my logbook.  Realized I just I mixed in some 5B6's in there by mistake.

Yep, that's my point.  But just strange why the Airport ID is off, other than it's just one of those things.

Bigger arrow at 26MA is my comment how the flight to ASH was probably the shortest flight I've ever made.  I've made a 15NM to a neighboring Apt a number of times, so the 5NM flight to/from ASH for lunch would definitely rank up there as short.

I have one if those in my logbook too. My 1st solo cross country included 5B5 which is now in Bismarck, ND. Then it was Bennington, VT. But that assumes "5M6" was correct to begin with and you didn't fly down to Falmouth.

I have a few of the same things.

One listed as 0W7, which is now a seaplane base in Bellingham, WA.  I should several round trips to 0W7 from NE MD with a total time of about 4.5 hours in a C-150.

I wish some one had  list of changed airport IDs

Excellent!!  Thanks for that link @Fly Boomer!!

I did not remember that AirNav is where I had seen the list of changes.

This is a fascinating site for old airports.

The AirNav link shows the 0W7 being attached to the Bellingham Seaplane base, but not what airport is may haven been before.   I wonder if it is a green strip on the Eastern Shore of MD, were we would stop of a nice late breakfast when doing eagle counting flights.
