Northeast Airpark’s First Annual Freeze Fest Fly-In

Well there’s no snow on the runway so we might as well have a party right? Colder temps mean better performance so lets get out and enjoy some chilly weather flying! A little cabin heat makes perfect sense to come on out, and join us at Northeast Airpark’s first annual Freeze Fest Fly-in. We’ll have some hot dogs, burgers and chili to keep the fire going… Don’t worry about Brookhaven’s landing fee, (what do you get for $7.00 anyways besides some good deer watching on 15-33? Please check this link to see how you can help with this) we will absorb it as long as you get some go go juice from our newly installed state of the art fueling station. A 10 gallon minimum purchase is your ticket in… Join us on February 25th 2012 for some food, fun and flying. Call the airpark for more details.

When comparing landing fee requirements as per local airports on long island, Brookhaven Airport (KHWV) ranks among the highest. Furthermore, there are no airport services on location to justify such a fee when compared to existing conditions at neighboring fields. The fee increases over the years are directly responsible for diminishing traffic to and from this once great aviation community. It can be great again, and with your voices of concern we can fight these unjustified increases to afford the general aviation community a place with open arms instead of above average fees for lesser services when compared to neighboring airports.

Saturday, September 18th, the squadron of three Cubs,the Super Decathalon and the beautiful Stearman based at NEAP flew out to Fosters Farm (a private grass strip) in Sagaponack NY. It is a very short strip, about 1800' with wires and a tree at one end giving you about 1600' usable runway landing to the north. That being said it is beautifuly maintained and the owner made us feel very welcome. Some great vintage aircraft showed up including a J-5 Piper Cub (seats three) and a Ryan PT-17. Also there was an antique steam engine show and I must say only in the Hamptons can you find a porta-potti with air-conditioning. It was a great day out and i encourage any NEAP pilots to sent me a short story and pics of any place cool you flew into that you want to share.

I just wanted to share a unique opportunity I had with all our Northeast Airpark Pilots. I have had the chance to fly a 1947 Mooney Mite. It lives in Hangar 5 at NEAP if anyone wants to see this unique aircraft. It is all wood,has a 65HP Lycoming engine,full manual mechanical retractable landing gear,flaps and a full flying tail. It was basically Al Mooney's first design and will cruise well over 120mph on 4gph and really is a pleasure to fly.

While I have everyone attention I just want to mention the hurricane pins on the doors. These are the vertical pins on the doors that slide into the concrete floor. please ensure they are "up and locked" for normal use as with some of them if you lower them and try to open the door it will jam the door. These are only to be used in a hurricane situation and it's imperative that they are retracted before the door is opened.

Blue Skys to all, Scotty
