Rusty,

 

I just realized that I did my first solo there at ‘Milton.’   I did most of my early touch and go’s there as well and can remember a bunch of funny looking ‘toy’ planes people parked there (various canards).  I couldn’t believe that people actually flew them.  J  My flight instructor was Gene Garove.  Do you know him by chance?

Good luck.  I don't have any snow to worry about, but I can't realistically fly during the week.  Our airport is in a small notch of the Navy's training airspace, and I can't exceed 900 ft, or head any direction but South.  Flying low out over the bay just isn't in my ideal flight testing guidelines at the moment :-)   And yes, I could call ATC and enter their airspace, but I can tell you from experience that they will not let me do anything close to what I need to do.  Fortunately, on the weekends and holidays, the Navy airspace is inactive, and once I get the engine proven, sneaking out under their airspace for 10 miles or so won't be any problem.  

 

Cheers,

Rusty
