Harrington Park sits at the edge of Camden Airport's traffic area, with light aircraft crossing at low altitude in daylight — a modest but regular presence, undercounted by tracking.
Light-aircraft counts are tracked overflights only — many training and private aircraft carry no ADS-B transponder, so true numbers are higher.
