Default washington island WI

It looks like only Mr. Pratt has flown into 2P2 Washington Island Airport in Wisconsin, this is a nice grass strip on a nice island and is very close to EAA grounds. So all of you Island collectors coming to Oshkosh this year can stop in 2P2.

Began and completed my PPL training at KCOF, as well as first solo, on a very long, very narrow island while an engineering co-op at Kennedy Space Center:


Kept the rust off with a few lessons at KDKX during the time I had to go back to school in Knoxville, as well as the site of the first exercising of my PPL priveleges:

Default 3W3 Kentmorr Airpark

18. One more island conquered thanks Mike. Kent Island, Maryland. Grass is good and runway wide. I "cheated" on the wind it was unusually strong and gusty. Parked non standard

I updated my 'Islands' post on Page 2 after our one-month Caribbean trip, and it's looking pretty cool now Rosie

Default Lake Erie Islands

I had a guest from Russia today. He wanted to fly and it was a quick decision to where. We went around the corner for a short island hop.


19. North Bass Island
20. Middle Bass Island
21. South Bass Island
22. Kelleys Island

All islands have very well maintained runways. Put-in-Bay has $10 landing fee and they rent golf carts for $15 an hour. Subway sandwich was cheaper then in NJ.

Default my count - '0', ......but how about going to France?

Hoping that Alfio or others read this.....why not visit France?
The islands of St. Pierre & Miquelon are just a few miles off the coast of Newfoundland, if I recall.
You have to land at the big airport to clear customs, at St. Pierre, but then there's a nice 3300' paved strip at Miquelon.
24 hr Prior notice required, and if you want ATC in English!
...... so they Do try to accommodate!
