This is a great place to go to visit. The entrance is in North Hampton on the right as you travel from Hampton. It is easy to travel past the entrance. Get a passenger to keep an eye open for the entrance. The sign in the entrance is larger than previous. This is a great place to bring your family.
The morning is the best time to visit. That is when the pilots prepare their planes for flight. The restaurant is also open for breakfast or lunch. The food is good. To watch planes take off and land while eating is a treat. In the summer, if you’re fortunate, your can observe the planes picking up the advertising signs. Those signs you see in the sky in the summer creates a drag for the plane. There is a special technique to lift up the sign.
There are all styles of planes. There are biplanes and single wing planes. Sometimes one gets to see an ultralight. I was in the back yard and heard a lawn mower above me. Sure enough there was a very small plane with the pilot in the open flying in a small plane powered by a lawnmower engine.
If you want to do more than eat and watch planes, there are other things to do. There are people that can teach you how to fly. There are also planes that one can observe southeast New Hampshire from the sky. If you do this, I would pick a plane where the wings are on top of the plane for a better view. If you are lucky, you might find a pilot who will give you a tour of his plane.
If one catches the bug and wants to fly with their own plane, the field is a full service airfield that has gas and maintenance. It is quite an experience to visit here.
