Experimental Aircraft Fly-In FeaturesThe Sky Jeep


Designed for quick takeoffs on rough terrain, the ultralight Zenith 701 is also called the Sky Jeep. Pilot Rod Hatcher flew in from Saylorsburg for Sunday's 20th annual experimental aircraft fly-in at Braden's Airport in Forks Township.

"It's the first time I landed on a paved runway in the past four years," joked Hatcher. Even his tires come from a John Deere tractor.

  2. The LVIA Board followed the poor legal advice of their former solicitor who made big $$$ while losing appeal after appeal at every level rather than settling the case years ago. Braden is now on the chopping block because of years of bad legal counsel. Sad.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
