1597.0. "ZKO Lunchtime Flying" by VMSSG::FRIEDRICHS (I'd rather be flying!) Thu May 05 1994 13:26

    
    Attention ZKO area pilots!!
    
    I have found what looks to be a very nice glider field on Rt 111A about
    5 miles from ZKO.  I am planning to try to get out there a couple of 
    times a week to fly gliders at lunch (ala the A.S.S. folks).
    
    If you are interested, please send me some mail and I will put together
    a mail list so that everyone can know when folks are heading there..
    
    The field is a new sports field that was leveled last year (I think)
    and is growing grass now.   I do not know what the plans are in the 
    future for this field, nor do I know if we can be kicked off..  It
    appears to be a city of Nashua field, so I suspect they will be hard 
    pressed to do anything with us.
    
    (And if we do get kicked off, I know of an alternative in Dunstable
    that I think we can get permission to fly on...)
    
    Directions to the field..
    	
    	Rt. on Spit Brook Rd.
    	Conintue as it turns into Ridge Rd. to Rt 111A
    	Left on 111A
    	About a mile or so on the right.
    
    If you get a chance, swing by and see if you agree that it should be a
    good field.
    
    cheers!

       That field is about 3 miles down the road from me. I have passed it
     many times, and had similar thoughts. As long as the grass is
     established, I imagine it would make a great noon time glider field.
    
       If it is like the other sports field on 111a ( about two miles closer
     to rt 3, it will be mobbed with Soccer players on weekday eves and 
     weekends, Spring and Fall.
