Aviation Links
Free information is valuable. Sometimes we derive free information from the most unlikely sources. In many cases free information can be found nowhere else. News is generally free, but why not include it if it is relevent and free. And finally, items that are free always mark a blessing. You just can't beat getting something for nothing, or at least almost nothing.
Links are both news and information, and they are always free.

Some of the best eatin' on an airfield are closer than you think. Here's this year's picks by the Host. Blairstown. Outrageously delicious burgers, wonderful eggs and homefries, and a luscious stack of pancakes. If you're traveling east, don't miss the great eatery at Martha's Vineyard. Nashua, MA., has a wonderful place if you want to travel north. If you make a comment about airfield eateries, they will be posted here.
Bader field remained open last year. They even had a make-shift FBO, utilizing a trailer for their base of operations. Still, the quarter mile walk to the boardwalk is well worth it. The assortment of eating places and activities is grat, and you don't have to gamble. Don't forget that pesky runway 22. Since you are not allowed to fly over Atlantic City, you must enter your approach from the inlet just to the north, flying over the industrial area, making right traffic on runway 22. You will have a quarter mile final from your right base.
The Webmaster found a great, new place to land your aircraft near Poughkeepsie, NY. Ever fly to an airport to find that there is no restaurant on the field and none in the immiate vicinity? That has happened on more than one occasion to yours truly. Don't fret! There is a pleasant solution to this depressing problem. An uncontrolled field called Sky Acres sets nestled in the rolling hills about ten miles northeast of Poughkeepsie. It's a delightful, old-fashion airpark with a wonderful eatery right on the field.

Reactions of some pedagogical staff: "You remind me of a bully in the fifth grade who always changes the rules in the middle of the game."
What are among the reasons for early retirement?
- Lengthening the day
- Decreasing salary
- Closer supervision(which really means picking on certain teachers)
- Changing the rules in the middle of the game
