trust me corky.. you have LOTS of airfields... around here you may need to
go 50 miles or more to find another airport.. and then it will not have fuel services..

(east), but I can show you places where there is still a long way between landable airports... north woods of Maine, NH and VT, but then in NH and VT the airports are closer together.. and their idea of mountains is down around 4000-5000ft, the highest point on the east is Mt Washington at 6288MSL. But you still don't want to mess with it if you are not familiar with mountain effects winds and weather. Learned in NH, lived and have flown all over the country, central plains mostly, and now Western mountains, Nevada/Arizona/Utah/California BT I did not realise that Vermont and NH had lots of airfields, doesn't seem like it when I'm flying around up here. Plus, the area contiguous to the Connecticut river valley is extremely inhospitable: it's very rugged, hilly and has collected a number of airplanes over the years. Remember the Learjet that went down around this time of the year six or seven years ago? Wasn't found for 3 years even though it was finally discovered right along the flight path of the approach to Lebanon Airport. The guys just let down too early in the clag after executing a missed approach. Let down into heavily wooded rising terrain. Weather was nasty that day. Corky Scott |
