Saturday is shaping up to be a very busy day at the Keene Airport.  The town triples in size this weekend for our annual Pumpkin Festival. 

If you are planning to attend the festival, we will have shuttle buses running between the airport and the festival.  Your patience is encouraged as you wait for the buses- it is a free service for pilots (whereas vehicles must pay in the the parking lots off airport).  Your common sense is also encouraged while parking on the ramp at the terminal.  With good weather the tie down spaces often fill up.  In year's past, we have seen some very creative parking designs! 

In addition to Pumpkin Fest, the New England Aerobatic Club is hosting an aerobatic competition at Keene on Saturday.  Please check NOTAMS and see the below diagram showing the approximate location of the aerobatic box.  The box will probably be 1500' AGL to 4000' AGL.  The airport is open all day but this will impact the normal traffic pattern at Keene.  Did I mention to check NOTAMS?

     

Congratulations to Jessie O'Neil.  He has earned his first solo flight and is also the latest recipient of the Out of The Blue Scholarship at Monadnock Aviation.  The scholarship will pay for up to 50% of Jessie's remaining training expenses!  We are thrilled to have Jessie train with CFI Rick Beck.
