Experience Freeflight Aviation
Southern NJ’s friendliest and most value oriented flight club. At Freeflight, you’re more than just a Hobbs meter, you’re part of our family. (And you have lots of siblings, so look out!) A unique Flight School for taking flying lessons, located at the Flying W Airport Resort. Our operation is built on the premise that flying small airplanes is first and foremost FUN. The original flight school, founded in 1983 as an value oriented club for the general aviator changed ownership in 2003 and it’s name in 2009 to Freeflight Aviation.
Our Goal
As in past history, Freeflight Aviation’s goal is to share our experiences and provide an atmosphere of informative, fun, flight training. Aviation changes your life and helps you grow as a person. Whether you’re looking for your first pilot certificate, instrument rating, or proficiency checks, our instructors are ready to bring you on board. For an airport tour, a Discovery Flight, or general information, please give us a call. It would be an honor to show you around our home or give you your first flight lesson.

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.

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.
