[Rover] Shakedown Run for N2MH/R

Mon, 2 Sep 2002 11:11:45 -0400

Mark,
 I am curious how you made out yesterday. Any luck with the Riansares Mtn
site??? How about the Tower Hill site in PA?

 As far as your fn03wc site is concerned, you will be just as good if you
stick close to the Thruway in Batavia, there is a small airport just north
of Batavia, you can operate from around there, decent horizon and some time
savings for you. Then you can jump on the Thruway and go to Woodcliffe.

 If you want a proven site in fn11, look for Ulysses airport. Actually just
a grass runway. If you need more info let me know.
