Alton Bay is open for the first time in several years and conditions were great yesterday. Check out the aircraft on the commemorative chip.

Yeah Bob! Glad you got to fly in there. I had it on my list and went up on Sunday 26 Jan. Great times and a perfect venue for the 170. We got in early that day as the winds were forecast to pick up in the afternoon. Our timing was good except the headwinds flying back to CT.
