But why take our word for it? Read the enthusiastic praise in the testimonials from our wonderful customers!
Located between the Hudson River on its west and the New York-Connecticut border on its east, Dutchess County is home to Sky Acres Airport (44N). Sky Acres, 10 miles east of Poughkeepsie, New York, is a non-towered airstrip nestled on a 145- acre hilltop in one of the most beautiful valleys in the United States. 44N is easy flight from more than 60 airports in the northeast and is the perfect gateway to the rest of the Hudson Valley.
what a fabulous hidden gem. Most people never experience small / non-commercial airports, so knowing a pilot is a very good thing. This little airport it tucked away in the countryside north-east of Poughkeepsie and apparently is a gathering place for pilots. There is a great breakfast restaurant on the field (a big red barn that was converted from dairy production), where pilots fly into and each delicious pancakes while watching airplanes buzz in and out. A few picnic tables outside to sit in the nice weather, and watch the clouds drift by. Very scenic, cool experience.
As we got close to Sky Acres, we tuned to their Unicom frequency, and it was bustling with traffic in and out of the airport! It is always a lot of fun to go somewhere and be accompanied by other pilots and their aircraft. Just shows that there are still people out there who go and fly for fun, no matter how expensive it has become. As we approached the area, Tom and I both had our eyes outside the cockpit and searching for the airport that is nestled in between the many hills. What an incredible sight on a fall like morning to fly above the acres of farm, trees and mountainous terrain. I’d call this flight one of the more scenic flights I have been on.
Sky Acres/Tailwinds is a place I would recommend to anyone this fall who wants a beautiful flight on a brisk morning for a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate, and a great meal to go along with it. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to go flying!
