Flying near Boston MA

[pulse1]

It looks like I shall be kicking my heels over a w/e somewhere between Boston MA and Hartford CT in mid March. Does anyone have any recommendations where I might be able to indulge in a little interesting light aviation in that area?

Any suggestion would be gratefully appreciated.

Sorry I can't help with any personal recommendations, but try the <a href="http://www.beapilot.com" target="_blank">www.beapilot.com</a> website's "Finding a Flying School" link. This allows you to search by US state for Flying Schools participating in the Be A Pilot program. The listings include links to the school's web sites if the school has one. At least you can get started this way.. . . . <small>[ 04 March 2002, 18:49: Message edited by: tacpot ]</small>

Pulse1. .. .Plenty of choice in the area, there are plenty of schools in the area. You could try Millionaire at Hartford Brainard, Worcester MA has a school I believe and also check out Coastal Air/Action at Groton, CT (very good, friendly school). Being the NE though you have to expect higher prices than eg. Florida and California - expect to pay about $80 per hour for a warrior plus about 30 per hour if you need an instructor.. . . . <small>[ 04 March 2002, 19:05: Message edited by: The Greaser ]</small>

tacpot, Greaser,. .. .Many thanks for your help. It's now beginning to look like my w/e will be in LA so the beapilot website looks very useful.

Cape Cod Flying Circus at Chatham aiport (Mid Cape) had a Great Lakes biplane when I was over there a couple of years ago: also a couple of very tidy C172s for hopping across to Nantucket and the Vineyard.. .. .Enjoy!

F3G,. .. .Many thanks for that one. I think I will arrange another w/e in that area when the weather is warmer. Sounds fascinating.. .. .Flatspin,. .. .Last time I was in LA I managed a bit of formation flying in a Stearman at Chino. Sunrise looks very good and I think I might see if I can arrange a spot of dual night flying with them. Many thanks for your interest.. .. .Pulse1 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
