I’ll take the turf

By Ben Sclair · April 24, 2022 ·

Pilots and the aircraft they fly are a diverse group. Some prefer concrete as far as the eye can see. Others see a few hundred feet of turf as ideal.

East Hampton played the long game

By Ben Sclair · April 21, 2022 ·

By Ben Sclair · February 3, 2022 ·

A brilliant idea. No doubt many of us have collected random parts in the hopes of returning them to airworthy status. Now, they could be something even better: “School-worthy.”

KRHV has been a target for decades

By Ben Sclair · February 2, 2022 ·

Makes me think, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
