February’s “Best” Fuel Price – $3.79!!!

Our annual ‘Kick Off Party’ was a roaring success with nearly 100 folks enjoying our warm hangar, yummy food and captivating speakers. Please see Nurturing GA published by AOPA for the whole scoop. Thanks again to all who attended – participated and especially Friends of Minute Man Air Field and Nancy’s at the Airfield for hosting!

Our ‘Wintah Slogan’ is “The Fastest Snow Plow in the Northeast!”. Next time you visit us, notice not only when we are fully operational, but also how wide we plow the runway and taxiways. Our ‘long winged’ visitors need not worry here. Feel free to call Don’s mobile number (978-621-5122) for up-to-the-minute field conditions or to let us know your ETA or ETD.

A word about fuel prices: The above price, effective 2/10/15, is the lowest in recent memory. Based on my weekly wholesale price updates, you can expect this low price through March, at a minimum. Now all we need is good WX so we can all take advantage of it! Sun ‘N’ Fun is on my planning horizon…

Catch the ‘Minute Man Spirit’ at one of our events this month. No cure is known!
