PhrogPhlyer Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Don Luscombe build his plant in 1935 at what is now Trenton-Mercer Airport in New Jersey. It's been over 80 years, glad they didn't move the Washington Crossing Bridge over the Delaware River. Still a great visual landmark. I see the remnants of the original airport, Alfred Reeder's farm field, off my left wingtip. Wondering if the folks in Trenton tower know that last time I was here, 80 years ago, this was Skillman Airport. Wow has this area grown, it used to be all trees and farms, Heck, even the runways seemed to have grown, Good to be home! Nice to see some other octogenarians here. Hello to my rag-wing friends. I wonder what this will look like on my next visit... see you in 80 years. Bonus advertisement, great price for an all metal aircraft. 1 Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate.
