I was not planning on waymarking today but when I found out we were going to go flying at a small public airport, I had to take my GPSr and camera and make this a new unique and interesting location for others to visit. I was surprised at how accessible everything was. We spent a lot of time on the tar-macadam. My son sat in the cockpit and he loved it. We went over the pre-flight checklist. I added oil and checked the fuel mix. All very cool.
The general area offers a nice view of the Delaware River and row homes. We flew in a single engine Cessna. There is a very nice Butterfly sculpture garden just off on the right off the main road (Ashton Road). There are also various business located here which offer flying lessons, plane rentals, and other amenities.
