Hey Dana, yes I used to see biplanes and high wings landing there while driving to and from work on Sunrise Hwy. I discovered it one day when a Cessna came across the highway very low, I thought it was going down in the woods till I saw more planes doing the same. Finally I looked on Google...

Hi Saddletramp, this old guy would love to fly with you! Learning to fly has always been just out of my reach, but now since I just retired, I’m determined to make it happen. You don’t by chance live in my neck of the woods do ya? I’m in NY. Go for it, age is just a number!

What great advice from this great community. I learn so much reading threads like this one. I’m sure going take all this advice with me when I book my ride. Thanks for sharing Silverhawk

Hi Arbiter419, thanks. Sounds like you have a great job flying those beautiful Piper airplanes. I hope the FBO was good to you there at ISP. When I was working, I spent many hours of down time at the airport watching the planes take off and land. Flying has always been just out of my reach...

Thanks all, happy flying!!!

My name is John, I'm a young, healthy sixty five year old who has just retired recently and suddenly found quite a bit of free time on my hands. I'm centrally located on Long Island, N.Y. nearest to MacArthur Airport (KISP). I've always loved aviation for as long as I can remember from building...
