It is a cool airport with a 35’ wide runway! It’s in great condition though, so it’s not a big deal if you can stay on the centre line. Hopefully winter stays away for a little while so I can get more fun flights in.

We landed at CDH6 Delhi, Ontario. It’s PPR, but a quick call to the owner gave us permission to use it. It has a nice 3189’ paved runway. They have a couple picnic tables and a bbq beside the runway, so I’m hoping to go there in the warmer weather just to cook my own lunch beside the runway. -Wayne.
