Airnav lists 4N1's runway as 3470x60 asphalt, good condition. This is

more than suitable for light GA ops. I have never been to 4N1, but
find these comments from former Mayor interesting.

It's another example of "journalists" failing to qualify statements made
during interviews. If a "journalist" was told in an interview that the
moon was made of green cheese, he or she would likely report it without
comment, qualification, or research.

They're no longer "reporters"; merely "regurgitaters".

But yes, it can be tricky at times, good practice really.

I also find it more interesting because the "view" is a little unusual, at
least around here, when in the pattern given the way elevation varies
around the airport.

I wonder what it was like there before they closed that other runway.

The CFI lived just down the street from us. My wife and 2-year old
daughter had just seen him that morning, and he (a really nice guy) had
come out to wave to them. Very sad.

I hate when it hits closer to home. Another accident a few months ago in
the same general neighborhood claimed a very nice fellow who was quite well
known at a local aviation organization (MAPA). It still gets a little
quiet during the 50/50, which he used to do at our meetings with great
enthusiasm.
