Hackettstown Airport

at Hackettstown Airport

From Dave Sutton on 09-Sep-2007

Grass Roots flying at it's best, Hackettstown is NJ's 3rd oldest airport, just behind Bader and Newark. City Slickers beware, this is a place to rest your muddy shoes on the bench, sit down with a coke, and rest a spell, but not a place where we hurry much. Folks who expect to have their new all-singing-and-dancing composite GPS equipped wonder-airplane washed and waxed by smiling line-persons ought to land elsewhere, but we'll be happy to show you the hose so you can do it yourself, and we'll lend a shirt to a stranger. Dogs are welcome, as are itinerant tail draggers and such. Now and then we find a tent off in the corner with a J-3 Cub picketed down next to it, and we know we have another visitor. Just land on the first third of the runway or go-around, and we'll all get along dandy!

Stopped here during a tour of lower 48 states in an Ercoupe. This place was the most interesting of the 63 stops I made. Lots of different single engine aircraft and activity and everyone having a ball. Hope to visit again and stay longer.

Flew to Hackettstown to visit my daughter at Centenary College. Good experience. The airport is not always staffed so it is good to call ahead to arrange for fuel. Joe was very helpful and one of the local flight instructors loaned me a NY terminal chart and briefed me on flying down the Hudson River corridor in NYC. It was an enjoyable flight. The helpfulness of those I met at the airport exceeded that of more well-known and established FBOs around the country.
