Northeast STOL Series

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your loved ones!

First flight for first kit-built Bearhawk Model 5 — General Aviation News

I thought this photo worthy enough to put on our 2022 trophies and it seems that the folks at General Aviation News find it to be attention grabbing enough to headline their article on a different airplane as well as their take on The Northeast STOL Series! We’ll take the free publicity, for us and pilot Peter Brown our 2022 series champion in his Bearhawk Patrol making a textbook STOL landing.

First flight for first kit-built Bearhawk Model 5 — General Aviation News Besides the successful first flight of the Bearhawk's newest model, the company reports that a pilot flying a Bearhawk Patrol took first place in the 2022 Northeast STOL series.

Ok All, last one before tomorrow and it’s better news!

I have received confirmation that there is Mogas in stock on site at Hampton Airfield.

Also registration fees will be covered by the generous folks at Maine Center for Classic Aviation - Thompson Memorial Field. So any donations we receive will go to the Wings for Wishes Charity.

Thanks again and we hope to see you all tomorrow!

UPDATE!!!!

We have just been informed that Hampton Airfield has just sold out of 100LL. Unfortunately there will be no fuel available on site tomorrow so please plan accordingly.

We will have shuttle transportation available on Saturday from the airport if you want to visit the whoopie festival in town and then get back to the fly in! The whoopie pie festival is only a couple miles away! Plan is to run in and back every 30 minutes. The shuttle will pickup/drop off at the redemption center on South St across from True Value
Donations for the ride will go to Make A Wish Maine through the Wings for Wishes fundraiser!
The shuttle is meant for people who fly in and want to go to the festival. We would prefer that it not be used as an off site parking shuttle.
First run from airport will be at 9:30

Alright kids young and old! Thanks to our local EAA Chapter, we will have an ice cream machine at the Fly-In/Stol on Saturday! With temps looking to be mid 80's who wouldn't want ice cream!! BTW, these darn things are way more complicated than I imagined! Lots of moving parts but after breaking my code of conduct and actually reading the instructions, we got it figured out! 🙃
Come early for breakfast and stay for lunch and ice cream! The Bird Dogs by Noyes gang will be cooking up some good eats. All food prices are by donation with the proceeds going to our favorite local charity Wings for Wishes for the Make a Wish Foundation of Maine. Last year $30,000 was raised by our good friendJim Cranee at his fundraiser event in August. We want to help Kick Start the event and help make that number even higher this year!

Come to Dover-Foxcroft this Saturday, enjoy all the whoopie pie festival has to offer then swing over to the airfield for some exciting STOL action.

Hi Everyone! The date for the Fly-In and STOL at the Charles A Chase Jr Memorial Airport (44B) in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine will be June 25th! Breakfast and lunch by donation will be provided by The Bird Dogs by Noyes gang. Breakfast will start at 8am.
This is also the same day as the Maine Whoopie Pie festival in town that starts at 10am! We decided to have the events on the same day because of the high gas prices so people wouldn't have to drive here twice! If you would like to fly in and attend the Whoopie pie festival, we will provide a shuttle (it's only a couple miles away) Stuff yourself with every flavor of whoopie pie imaginable and get back to the airport for the STOL event at 2pm!
We hope to see you there and hope someone brings us some Whoopie pies! Watermellon and Chocolate Peanut Butter are some favorites of the STOL crew I hear...
Keep an eye in the sky for those colorful powered parachutes starting Friday evening!
