    From: Bob Brasher…… Massey MD1 Fly In this weekend
    October 23 – 25 Massey Aerodrome near Dover DE.

    Rusty Lowry is working with the folks at Massey Aerodrome (MD1) to host a
    vintage sailplane weekend 23-25 October as a trial run for a “real” VSA meet
    there next year – probably in the Fall.

    He will be bringing up tow planes and a couple of Schweizer gliders.

    Massey is located near Dover DE, just a few miles South of Middletown DE.
    Hotels are available in Dover, Middletown, and Chestertown MD and Massey has
    also said we could camp on the field as needed.

    The field itself features a 3000′ X 100′ grass main runway with a 1200′
    crossing runway. There are numerous (18?) airfields within a 10 mile or so
    radius and a lot of flat fields to accommodate a land out (in the unlikely
    event such a thing would happen). Massey also has an air museum on the field
    and a couple of hangars – most of the gliders will be tied down but they
    said they could accommodate one or two inside if need be.

    The basic plan is for the tow planes to arrive Friday morning Oct 23rd to
    support some flying that afternoon, all day Sat, and Sun up to a
    mid-afternoon departure.

    No cost for the weekend aside from lodging and food. Tows will be $30 with
    $5 going to the Massey air museum and $5 going to VSA, the other $20 will be
    gas money for the Pawnee and Cessna 150/150.

    Contact Rusty at lowry94@verizon.net if you are interested.

    You can make an appointment in a couple of ways.
    You can call us at 609-265-0399 and we can either set up and appointment with you or recommend a flight instructor for your to call.
    You can also visit our website … http://www.freefight-aviation.com ….look through our instructor list and contact one of our instructor by phone or email.
    You can just stop by, but we recommend calling first. Our office is not always open. People may be up flying, no one is in because the weather is bad, or they are in our maintenance hanger close by. Someone usually anwsers the phone, and will be glad to help anwser any question you may have.

    We hope to hear from you soon,

We always seem to be on the late side, so 6:30 will probably be the best time of arrival in New Castle.

    Any Pilots who have not yet traded in their paper pilot certificates have until March 31, 2010, when the paper certificates are set to expire. If you’re still using paper, don’t delay. Pilots can no longer exercise the privileges of their paper pilot certificates after the March 31 deadline. Student certificates are not affected and certain non-pilot certificates, such as those issued to AMTs, are still valid for three more years before they need to be replaced.

    Renewing a certificate can be done online or through the mail, and instruction can be found at: http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/certificate_replacement/. Requesting a replacement certificate online requires creating an account with Airman Certification Online Services, which only takes a few minutes. Being registered can help you in the future with quicker processing of an address change or a replacement certificate request.
