Friendly pilots, and cute small town airport. You will enjoy great views of the Catskill mountains, I would recommend going in the fall to see the colors. Appointment is required.
Met with the airport manager at the main hanger - was super friendly and easy going! Beautiful glider flights in progress during my visit!
What a great visit we had to Wurtsboro Airport. It was an iffy weather day when we visited as part of the Great American Cross Country trip my son and I have been doing for five years. Glider pilot Jim met us at the small airport office and pulled a bunch of strings in order to make a glider flight with my son happen. My son is a certificated glider pilot so we opted for an instructional flight in the ASK-21 instead of the sightseeing flight. What was super awesome was getting towed by a Bird Dog painted in USAF livery. Carson soared with some local bald eagles who helped him locate the thermals. Rachael was the tow pilot and we had a good conversation between pilots after she returned from the tow release. Super friendly bunch of folks who share a love for all things aviation. Thank you all for making our day!
Had an excellent time soaring! I have a fear of flying (I promised my husband I would go), but glider pilot Warren was very good at explaining everything that was happening and putting me at ease. Highly recommended to take a ride!
