Bill and Nancy Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 We finally got out for a couple of days and camped at an airport about 30 miles from home. Its free and was fun to get out for the first time this season. Can you believe it his 93 Degrees in MA in April. The trailer hit 96 degrees inside but it cooled down at night and was a good time eating peanuts and looking at the stars. 5 1 Bill & Nancy Holland MA 2022 Elite II Hull #1265 2022 GMC Diesel Canyon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been going there since I was a kid and it was very active at one time with a restaurant, flight school and banquet facilities. The owner died about 30 years ago and the kids lived out of state and wanted nothing to do with it. So they paid the taxes for 30 years and it became abandoned. Then some pilots just started using it again with no string attached and it became place where people would hang out and fly all kinds of crazy stuff. Then about 4 years ago it was sold to a Chinese company and they nocked down the old restaurant and then Covid hit and they went back to China. No one knows whats going on so the glider guys keep mowing the grass, and flying their gliders. Its been this way for over 30 years. Its a crazy time.

Steph and Dud B Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 That's really cool. Can't be more than 1 place like that in the whole country, at least with that backstory.

It’s close to a bike trail and it’s along the river so bring your canoe. It also has a free dump station and H2O. We usually bring extra food to feed the glider guys and the theoretical airport manager who we are good friends with. It’s very dark and is great for star gazing. There can be a lot of glider traffic on a good week end so if you don’t like the noise it could be and issue. Week days there is no one there so if you like quite week days are it.

katanapilot Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Looks like fun. There is an airport near us (privately owned, public use) that is also a Harvest Host location. Great restaurant on the field. For those in the Atlanta area, it's worth a stop. We fly to it every couple of weeks for breakfast or lunch. https://www.peachstateaero.com/ 2020 Elite II Hull #628, Houghton Heat Pump, Victron MP2, SmartSolar, Orion, Cerbo, Lynx install in progress...
