Clyde A. Lewis Park stands on the historic grounds of the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base, honoring Cold War innovations and the legacy of Clyde A. Lewis. Lewis, a decorated Major in the Army Air Corps during World War II, earned numerous accolades for his service before championing the establishment of the Air Force Base in Plattsburgh in 1952.

Today, the park features two impressive aircraft monuments—an FB-111 Aadvark and an F-47E Stratojet—symbolizing the enduring partnership between the United States Air Force and Plattsburgh. Located near the Air Force Base Museum and War of 1812 Museum, the park welcomes visitors free-of-charge, with donations encouraged for maintenance and upkeep.
