Hey everyone, occassionaly I come on here to read these forums and reading this thread inclined me to join since the flying w is my home airport and is where I trained and now instruct.

And to the original poster, you forgot to get a picture of the pool. They have a pool shaped like a plane, and an outdoor bar with horseshoes and a volleyball court. I highly recomend a visit to N14 if you are in the area.

Great Pics though!

BUt anyway thatnks for the comments we'll be sure to take more picks next time we are up.

Nice Pics! I fly outta McGuire and also happen to live 5 minutes from the Flying W..small world. I tell you though nothing makes me more nervous than arriving back home and doing pattern work around the base..there are 10 satellite airports that are very busy with lots of traffic down low..we have lots of problems seeing you guys visually (thank god for TCAS) but hopefully you all have no problem seeing us! I from time to time rent out at Flying W with another fellow Kc10 driver that CFI's outta there part time. Its one of the coolest GA airports!

Ha, you guys are hard to miss! I fly out of Trenton-Mercer and I always see KC-10 and C-17's flying over the Yardley VOR when I am doing pattern work. On my first dual cross country I flew out to Lancaster and had you guys flying a thousand feet over my head on the first part of the trip.

Any chance of seeing an F-22 air demo this year? The static display was awesome, but I have yet to see it fly.

I'm not sure..Ill ask. I think it might be an f22 air demo but Ill see if I can find out at work. As for lancaster, we are always flying over that way on the Harrisburg arrival. Glad you see us ok!

I also had to stay in the motel there because of weather.
