Congrats Mark! Way to go!

I recently volunteered to assist on the website.   My name is Bob Finlay and I live in Medway Maine.  I fly N7750D a 1957 PA-22/150.  Videos are fun to share.

Join YOUTUBE and create an account.   Here’s how:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeIfbeXn4U8

Put your videos up, and send the link from the top of the page to pabobfin@yahoo.com and I will put it in the postings.   Here is one of landing yesterday, July 28, 2017 at KMLT, Millinocket Maine.  Click “Enjoy” below.

ENJOY

From email from Andy Seligson.  Northeast Chapter

 

Hi there – Just a reminder that our next fly-in will be a week from tomorrow, Sat. Aug. 5th, with the 6th the rain date, to the Red Mill Restaurant on the field at Basin Harbor, Vermont (B06-Bravo Zero six). We’ll meet at noon. Check the go/no go email after 7:30 am on Sat./Sun. and email me if you expect to come. It gets busy here and we’d like to give management a heads up about seating. It’s a great turf field, 3000′, 2-20, CTAF 122.8, no fuel on the field. Our next fly-in will be our “annual bash” at Marcia & Zene Garnsey’s on Sat. 9/2 with the 3rd the rain date. More on this to follow. I have not heard from Zene, so i assume that this date is still good. Just got back from Europe and am off to the wilds of the Berkshires (Tanglewood). I’ll hope to see you up at Basin Harbor on the 5th – Andy

Good evening – The weather for the first part of the day on Saturday will probably be a tour de force of mother nature with some heavy thuderstorms until it clears out. Sunday is being touted as a “pick of summer” by one of the local NY weather forcasters. Let’s just do it Sunday. Plan to be at the Red Mill restaurant on the field at basin Harbor, Vt. (B06 – bravo zero six) at noon. Basin Harbor has a great turf 3000′ runway 2/20, ctaf is 122.8, no fuel on the field. Some nearby fields with 100LL are Middlebury, Vt., Ticonderoga, & Glens Falls, NY. Look for the go/no-go email after 7:30 am on Sunday, but it looks real good (you’ve heard that before). I hope to see some of you there. If you plan on making it, please email me so I can give the folks at the Red Mill an fair count for the table; they’ll probably be busy. I hope to see some of you there. Hey – bring a bathing suit & towel. The beach is a short walk from the restaurant! Safe flying to you all – Andy
