My maps don't show a "Gwynedd County" in Pennsylvania. There are a number of places with Gwynedd in their name, but they seem to be in Montgomery (or Bucks) County - upscale suburbs of Phily. Willow Grove Naval Air Station would be the largeest airport, though winding down, IIRC. There are numerous small fields within 20 miles.

The Philadelphia folks must have had something about Wales at one time. One of the suburbs is Bala Cynwyd, and "Cynwyd" was the name of its telephone exchange. This gave certain problems back in the ages when operators were needed to put through all long-distance calls. "How do you spell Cynwyd?"
