Lived in Haddam for 6yrs. Flew trainers out of Groton/New London, Instructed out of Windham airport, some corporate and radio work out of Hartford, finally corporate out of waterbury/oxford airport. So I have a little time flying around the area, and northeastern states.
My son is planning a stay at friends while this is going on so he is excited to be going also. I just never liked the drive, seems N.E. Ohio always had orange on all the Highways coming into and out of the state. Somethings never change I guess.

Another idea as well. Not sure if anyone have access/contacts to the old Pratt and Whitney facility/runway that now abuts to Renscheler Field in East Hartford? There used to be a United Way Fly In that was held there even after the new football stadium was built at the far end of the runway. They held the event even after 9/11. Not sure if anyone has a contact there that could get Elie some info.

Would they allow all the extra hours activities? You know overnight camping and such? I am pretty sure being that close to the P&W facility they would have to have extra security.

Another good place would be the Road and Track 9 (or is it car and driver) test facility. Wide open with nice long paved runway on top of a hill. Never been there in person but from the air it has plenty of room.

I think he's talking about the old drag strip in Colchester. That would be a great place.

Sitting around and talking about this event is such a tease for all of us here in the frozen north. I can't wait for some good weather to just be able to fly!
