We had a terrific season of flying at the North Hempstead Aerodrome this year. Weather has been very good
and the field has never looked better. Thank you North Hempstead! The best place on earth to live!
When you spend time at our field, you'll feel as if you're on vacation.
The members are friendly and helpful, the location couldn't be better and there is always something interesting to see
and do.
Only
members and qualified guests are allowed to fly at this field, but everyone is invited to
come and see what it all is about. If you have an interest in this activity,
we can give you your first flight on our Club trainer, we will also advise you on what you need to get started, and we will
train you so you can go solo. But, be forewarned - it is addictive.
Summer might be over, but that doesn't ground us. Winter flying is very
popular. Especially on those crystalline days when the snow is fresh, the air is calm,and the sun warms our backs. we put
skis on our planes and fly off the snow.
Our
hours of operation are from 7:00 am to dusk, but the best time to come is from 10:00 am to lunchtime during the week, and
anytime on the weekend. If the gate is closed, it means no one is flying. If the gate is open, come up and say "hello".
Late afternoons plague us with the sun in our eyes, so mornings are your best bet.
If you come to the field, please introduce yourself to the Safety
Officer in charge. He'll answer any questions you might have and give you the best guidance available.
Thank you for your interest. And, thank you Town of North Hempstead for keeping
this dream alive.
