New base hopeful for Airnet

[tathepilot]

I always thought the congestion at FRG, was and still is always a plus as far as training goes, as opposed to open land and no one around for miles. Communications, traffic watch, procedures, SIDs, DPs, Actual holds, etc.. The weather conditions sure as hell are not the prettiest days in the world. Just yesterday my flaps froze down on a 172 RG. Good experiences like this lead to better piloting. I hope. The N***AV planes at Flightways had eventually sold off. A majority to a company called CTL. A company notorious for emergency landings of its planes on the beach. At least it used to be. Hope to see you all in the field one day and fill you in on the old neighborhoods.

hahaha very true...

p.s i was in that plane that landed on the beach

frg is a great airport to learn at. (besides the delays) if you are smart, you will learn the best times to fly.. i just had to chime in because i leared at farmingdale as well...

frightways, wow that brings up some memories..

goodluck

It sure does. Spent just about 2 years as an instructor there in the early 80's . Sure was fun and busy back then ,too. Especially sunday afternooons on a clear day. Fond memories of the mighty Piper "Trauma-hawk". Never thought student pilots could find so many different ways to kill you in an airplane.It really kept you on your toes!
