After a rather dreary start that consisted of many days of dark, wet, IFR only weather, we have broken out of the clouds and are enjoying some warm, seasonal summer weather as this is being written. The editor had a nice flight around Mt. Desert Island the other day in a WACO biplane (traded a trip around Frenchman Bay by boat for it) in nice smooth flying conditions. I should have spent the day editing this issue but…flying took precedent. Port O’Maine Airport By Brian Wood Every year for my birthday my father would spend the day taking me any place I wanted to go. For my 14th, it was decided that we would have lunch at Portland’s Sportsman’s Grill for my favorite meal – spaghetti. After that we could go out to the airport and watch planes. After an hour watching a few Northeast DC3’s and DC6’s taxi in, things slowed down and we decided to go down to South Portland and see if we could find another airport we had heard about. It was called Port O’Maine Airport. After some searching we found it off Route One. Little did I know that I was about to receive the best birthday present ever! Port O’Maine was everything an airport should be with a long unpaved runway, two shorter ones, a windsock pond, a cement maintenance hangar full of planes in various states of disassembly, rows of small planes tied up on the grass and a wonderful terminal building.
