We hated to leave the wonderful Finger Lakes Aerosports Flight Park, but with the hurricane tipped (as they say in Australia) to come through there on Friday, and with Sun Dogs in the sky, we decided to make a run for it to the southwest through Ohio. It’s raining now late on Thursday night, but was dry with light breezes during the drive out. We hope to be able to drive to close to Chattanooga tomorrow to arrive in time for the Team Challenge.

The party was just starting at the flight park and Marty and Doug Allen were doing a great job. Marilyn and Steve had driven in from Morningside and the cu’s were just coming over after the first band cirrus came through. Kenny Brown was there with his Duddlebug 2. Mike was giving Litesport demos. Ron was demoing everything in the WW line.

The site was absolutely beautiful and a great set up. The Rochester Area Flyers have a wonderful facility to fly at thanks to a $100,000 investment on Marty’s part and Doug and Joan’s farm. Again we hang glider pilots get way way more than we deserve.

Marty has really gone through the process of putting together a flight park with $10,000 in legal fees to set up four limited liability corporations that protect his personal and other business assets. They have a great working relationship with the local FAA office.

They are not in controlled airspace (although only a half hour from Rochester, NY), but they are under a victor airway (centered a mile away) going into the airport. There is undiverted commercial air traffic at 1,200’ AGL and above n the area.

With a residential area just to the north, but huge farming areas in all the other direction, they make sure to keep the noise of the tugs, ultralights, powered parachutes, and powered paragliders to a minimum. The air strip can handle GA traffic and has been there for forty five years.

Marty was able to purchase cheaply a good sized roller that would normally be used for building highways. This was absolutely essential for getting a nice smooth runway (especially after frost heaving). This makes it so much easier on the trikes and tugs.

It’s clear to me that there can be some really great flights from this flight park next year. Maybe all the may into Vermont, which would be very cool.

Congratulations to Marty, Doug and Joan.
