In 1966, Polidori and an airplane parts trader, Earl Reinert, opened the Victory Air Museum adjacent to the airstrip.

Behind the museum structure and partially along the airstrip was an outdoor display of airplanes.

[3] From 1982 or earlier, an annual Father's Day fly-in event was held.

[4] About two weeks after what in 1985 would become the last annual fly-in at the Victory Aircraft Museum Airstrip,[7] Paul Polidori died at the age of 72, along with an amateur areal photographer, when the 45-year-old plane Polidori flew crashed while approaching for a landing at the airport.

Aerial photography shows that in the 21st century or earlier Air Estates Airport was abandoned.
