This week's Tuesday at the Field takes us to Capital City Airport, just across the Susquehanna River from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Dedicated in 1930 as Harrisburg State Airport, it hosted Charles Lindbergh twice that October, and TWA began mail and passenger service two days after his second visit. The airlines left for Harrisburg International in 1968; Capital City has been a GA and corporate field ever since. Two paved runways: 08/26 at 5,000 ft and 12/30 at 3,778 ft, with an ILS and RNAV to 08 and RNAV to 26. Mind the LAHSO on 26, and check your identifier: pilots have landed on MDT's 13/31 thinking it was CXY's 12/30. Fly in, fly out or work the pattern, in any GA aircraft. File on VATSIM with "VirtualUSAFlying Club" in your remarks. 7-10pm Eastern on Tuesday 3 November, which is 0000-0300z. Hosted by Brant Nyberg (N11816).

Welcome to My Place! No, not my house…but My Place. This privately owned airport hosts one of the largest fly-ins in Ohio! A main reason for this fly-in is to help foster and encourage a love of aviation in hopes to encourage new pilots taking to the skies. While you’re here, visit our local artisans, wood carvings, hot air engine, kids activities and lots of airplanes and antique tractors (look but please do not touch the airplanes or tractors). Kids activities include pumpkin painting (take home your painted prize pumpkin), milking cow trainer, train rides, hay rides, corn pit, swings and slides, and ice cream. I, N8033Fox, will be there on the ground in a full flight simulator for the duration of the day allowing kids and adults alike an opportunity to virtually fly into the same airport, all while promoting aviation and the Flying Club; it would be neat to hear other virtual pilots landing at My Place amongst the real pilots who are landing at My Place.

Fly your favorite GA aircraft into this 2000’ turf runway nestled in the hills of West Virginia. You’ll be navigating between mountain ridges making your way into the canyon for the challenging valley approach in the Allegheny Mountains of the Appalachians.
