I was there for three and a half days, I think it was, five lessons.
It's all very flexible depending on what you want to accomplish, and
the weather of course. He does the work in a Husky with tundra tires.
At that time he had an L-4, and I believe now he has a Super Cub;
perhaps he would do the course in one of those if you prefer.

That part of NJ is wonderfully bucolic, much more so that SE New
Hampshire, and there are lots of private strips where Damian is
welcome. And Andover has a grass runway beside the asphalt one, so I
wasn't on hardtop the whole time.

I did short-field, rough-field, uphill, downhill landings and
takeoffs, and J-takeoffs. I got so I could take off in a 500=foot
patch of grass and land again with half the patch in front of me, very
nice feeling. Also did a bit of canyon flying, believe it or not, in
the Water Gap.

Damian has a website (Andover Flight Academy) but doesn't much play
around with the internet. His wife handles the email. I think the bill
for the five lessons was $900, including a lot of ground school, and I
got a coffee mug out of it

I highly recommend this man. Among other things, he is the one who
prepped Harrison Ford for his DH Beaver work in "Six Days and Seven
Nights".

all the best -- Dan Ford
