My Bidule 180 and Carbon Cub 150 are shined up and ready to tow!!!
Any size sailplanes are no problem, from foamies to monsters. Bing them all.

It's even an SCC approved field!

Len, I'm on it with all new signage and Josh is catering this year. Yes, this is a wonderful field to fly from.

Made my reservations for Middlebury at the Courtyard Marriott so my wife and daughters would have things nearby to enjoy while I am there flying. We come up on Friday afternoon/evening and will be staying until Sunday afternoon. I should have 1 possibly 2 tugs with me to help with towing (plus sailplanes too of course).

All right guys, its really time to get this event up and in the forefront. Since this has proven to be a very special place to fly over the past couple years, if you are at all on the fence about attending the Aerotow, dont hesitate.
Some pictures from previous years.

Vermont is home to some great IPA's.... Alchemist (Heddy Topper) for one. I think Lawson Brewery is also nearby. Fiddlehead Mastermind Double is awesome

I have been wanting to come to the Vermont aerotow, ever since I saw the pictures of the beautiful flying site!

Is there a list of nearby hotels/B&B's? There used to be, I think. A few newer folk are asking.
