Misenko, Rachel. "Echelon Airfield will be focus of Voorhees tribute", Courier-Post, September 9, 2009. Accessed January 9, 2025, via Newspapers.com. "The airfield gradually grew to include three grass runways, a gift shop, luncheonette and eventually a T-hangar that housed six planes.... The airfield, official incorporated in 1944, was primarily used for recreational flights, flying instruction, crop dusting and charter flights.... About a year later, the airfield was leased to Hugh and Kay Hamill, who ran the property until it was sold in 1962.... The airfield was renamed the Delaware Valley Airpark under the new owners, who kept it running until 1965."

Duhart, Bill. "Their high-flying love story created one of N.J.‘s first airports and later a mall", NJ Advance Media for NJ.com, November 24, 2019. Accessed June 30, 2020. Accessed January 9, 2025. "At the drop of a hat, Rogers and Jeannette Smith would hop into their single- or double-wing aircraft and fly around New Jersey airfields for popup dinners beginning with hors d'oeuvres and ending several courses later.... The Smiths named their airfield Echelon, denoting a flying formation in parallel rows with the end of each row projecting further than the one in front. The name stuck and eventually identified an area beyond the 200-acre airfield in the Ashland section of Voorhees Township, about 15 miles southeast of Philadelphia. A heartbroken Jeannette Smith sold the field to commercial real estate developer Willard Rouse in 1963, 13 years after Rogers was killed in a tragic plane crash in western Pennsylvania."
