2nd annual 1P1 Summer Fly-In

[Thermos]

I've fielded some questions about the condition of the grass runway at 1P1 after the rain we've received in New England this week.

I spoke to the airport manager on Wednesday and he thought the field was in pretty good shape. I've also spoken with family in Plymouth this morning and they've received some rain since Wednesday but not as much as we've had here in Boston.

The east half of runway 30 is slightly higher and tends to drain better, so factor that into your touchdown planning.

I'll be in touch with the manager again tonight, and we'll be on the field tomorrow morning by 9 or so and I'll walk the runway to check conditions again. My cell number is 781 789 2768, don't hesitate to call me before you launch and I'll pass on any additional info that I have.

At least two non RSVP unannounced RVs are coming. One will be hand propped

Bring 'em on, Vlad!

Thanks Dave for organizing this. It was one of those few grand days.

My copilot Jeff took these pictures.









Runway in excellent shape. Noah landing... a bit late a yard long

After Dave's Fly in we gaggled to a random airport for desert. Dan was the Pathfinder. Everybody at the airport knows Turbo and every lady hugs him. I suspected a conspiracy but I couldn't prove it. They also parked my RV in the corner and an airfield official asked about my nationality

Glad to meet a few new faces!

I have video, too; I will edit and provide a link after working out all the kinks.

Let me add to the photo pile. Thanks to my co-pilot who got some decent shots on the way from lunch (1P1) to dessert (KAFN):

Vlad, nice to meet you. This is about as good of a shot we had of you and Jeff just after takeoff:

Turbo, nice to meet you, too.



I'm ALMOST in the right spot, sorry to the guy behind me .


Maneuvering into Jaffrey. Don't get a large ice cream unless you haven't eaten all day or "co-pilot is paying"!
