Great turnout for such an iffy day. Wind, foggy and snow showers. Think we had 11 planes







Happy Thanksgiving

Be thankful for family and friends

I sent this picture of Cassie (Jake's other half) to all my hunting buddies.



TRY TO KEEP UP

Glenn

 

[Farmboy]

You can’t keep up with Cassie. Jake is smart to not even try.

If she’s not biking hiking skiing climbing running swimming fishing hunting, she might ride along with jake in the J3.
Otherwise it’s too slow for her energy level.

You forgot that she's a certified Adirondack guide and whitewater raft instructor

We have finally started to get snow! Anybody getting ready to ski fly yet? I’m planning on making a set of Dollie’s for the Champ and hope for a little more snow. We have about an inch tonight.
How are the mountains doing?

I moved my Maule to KFSO in Vermont this summer and was hoping to get it on straight skis this winter but they closed the grass runway permanently during the repaving so its likely wheel penetration skis required from here on out unfortunately. So my Maule will continue to stay on wheels.

Did they ruin the grass landing area with excessive drainage like they did at Middlebury? If not use it as before. We have a couple areas we still use without any complaints thanks to a great airport manager.

 

[Farmboy]

At KFSO I’d wait some more and maybe someone will let the Notam lapse.

They graded it into what's presumably drainage and its not useable anymore.

There is talk of making a new one on the opposite side of the runway, but that's a ways out at best. Did you guys get your fuel fixed down at Middlebury? I looked at basing the Maule there but couldn't find even the remotest possibility of a hangar.

New to this site and wasn't sure if I can message you directly. Do you still have any Maule manuals for sale?

Thanks!

New hangar at Rhinebeck Aerodrome ( donated)

https://photos.app.goo.gl/sgNr4o2sNxBAfH4r7

Let me throw this out there. It's the end of the year and lots of folks need to spend some money or lose it to taxes. I don't have any connections with the Aerodrome anymore. Not totally true as the place is near and dear to my airplane addiction. Point being that this place runs on a shoe string budget. Just keeping up with property maintenance takes a lot nevermind maintaining 20+ flying aircraft and keeping the other 50+ from deteriorating plus the buildings that house them. Any donation at all would go to good use.

We regret to announce the cancellation of the 2023/2024 ski flying season. ...not one flake of snow.

Hopefully only the 23 part of the season

Glenn

PS, I could have been on skis twice couple weeks ago

 

[algonquin]

I think I may have contributed to this lack of winter, I bought a plow truck that isn’t rusted apart and have the skis ready to go for the Champ!

 

[TcraftF21]

My skis are on and ready. Had to land on the grass last week.

Optimistically waiting

I can't believe I haven't put the skis on

Weird year!

We may not have any snow but we're about to get some good clear ice. Now if we could only get the ice fisherman to spread their hole tailings out.

 

[cubdriver2]

Finally........some skis time
