Favorite New England Airports: A Guide to Aviation Activities and Entertainment
by James S. Kohn
Category: Travel

For such a small land area, New England offers an almost unlimited number of interesting destinations for small plane pilots. From ocean beaches to ski areas, New England has something to entice travelers for trips of any length. As a busy surgeon, Jim Kohn quickly learned that flying to vacation areas maximized his limited time and permitted a variety of activities in all seasons. While not a comprehensive guide, this compact book covers 33 locations with maps, approach and landing suggestions, and tips for dining, lodging, and activities. Each airport description includes a derailed map showing runway/s, FBO, trails, directions to town, accommodations, and activities. Cape Cod and its nearby islands are especially attractive for pilots because of the many airports, including those offering parking adjacent to the ocean. Several Maine and New Hampshire locations will appeal to the adventurous looking for skiing, hiking, mountain biking, or whitewater rafting.
