  within  the  same county or adjoining counties, may jointly acquire real
  property by purchase, lease or condemnation for  the  purposes  of  this
  article  and  establish, construct, equip, maintain and operate for such
  municipalities jointly an airport or landing field. The ordinance, local
  law or resolution providing for such action  shall  be  adopted  by  the
  local  legislative  body  or  board of trustees of each municipality and
  shall create a committee to be at all times composed of members of  each
  of such bodies or boards to acquire necessary real property, in the name
  of  the  municipalities  jointly,  and as their joint agent, and to have
  charge of the construction, equipment, maintenance and operation of such
  airport or landing field. The ordinance, local  law  or  resolution  may
  specify  matters  as  to which the action of the committee shall require
  the joint approval of such bodies or boards.  The ordinance,  local  law
  or  resolution  also shall prescribe the proportions of the cost of such
  project to be borne by the municipalities respectively.   The moneys  to
  pay  the  share  to be borne by each municipality may be provided in the
  manner  prescribed  by  this  article.  The  ordinance,  local  law   or
  resolution may be amended from time to time with the concurrence of each
  of  such  bodies or boards, and the boundaries of the airport or landing
  place may be extended or the project abandoned in  like  manner  at  any
  time.  A  joint  airport or landing place established under this article
  shall be located in one or more of the  counties  participating  in  the
  joint  undertaking,  or  within the county in which the cities or one of
  them is located, or the county  in  which  the  villages  or  towns  are
  located.  The limitation contained in section three hundred and fifty as
  to  distance from the boundaries of any such city, village or town shall
  not apply to such a joint airport or landing place.
