Alton Bay Ice Port visit
B18 (map)
AT this time, not sure if Alton Bay Iceport will be open or not, but let's get it on the books.
Hotline number is 603- 875-3498
Here's a rare opportunity to land on an ice port. Is it fun and exciting? Ask Peter Kettle, he made his first last year and the smile stayed until spring :-)
Food is also there and the place can get busy.
B18 is the ICAO. Might not find it on your GPS.

If Alton Bay is closed still, Kaitlin and I were thinking on doing brunch at Sanford.

Sam, as of yesterday, the ice was still perfect. I'll check again this afternoon and tomorrow morning. An alternate is a great idea. We should always have one when going to B18. I'll work on it. LCI has no food, but is close by. Maybe back to Nashua would be a smart flight. Ideas?

charley valeraEvent HostPast President, Board Member and Flyout Master, OrganizerThis is one of those " gotta do this". Like the NYC Corridor, or flying into OshKosh. A real live Iceport within 1/2 hr. we had a great time and a few got their first taste of an ice landing. Congrats!
