Default Airport in Walpole VT?

There are a couple of mystery airports near Tonopah, Nevada. One of them is big enough to land a space ship.

We generally consider *our* mystery airports unlandable until proven otherwise. How about you :-)?

There is more than one where you WILL be greeted by a formal "Welcoming" committee... likely young men with guns in your face...

And you'll get zero points for getting anywhere near them...
No, wasn't me...

Here's another mystery airport, near Grantham.
I have not yet put eyeballs on it.
Thought to do so yesterday, but was too busy
looking at the sky. Glorious...

Did you miss flying Sunday?
Best day I've ever seen in New England:

appears to be a nice airport not on the chart.

East from Bellow Falls. Anybody know this one?



See ya, Dave "YO electric"


The pavement is very cracked, about 730m of length, but big trees RIGHT at both ends. You could get in and out of there with a Pawnee and glider no problem. Common little Cessnas and Pipers have book distances to take off and clear 50ft of 500m-600m, so in theory would be ok. But not all that much room for error or tailwind.

NO !!! It was an awesome day. 500 to 1000 fpm thermals
and a ten thousand foot cloud base. One of those spring
days that happens about every decade.
I was flying in Springfield, VT.


What glider/callsign? Are you on OLC here?
