I have been in my new place for a month and have loved every second of it. I am located exactly .68 miles (1 kilometer) north from the end of runway 14 of the Ithaca-Tompkins Regional Airport (KITH).

A USAirways E135 leaving runway 35

Same plane overhead

climb this fence and get a free trip to jail

ITH VOR/DME Low altitude 111.80 megahertz

At the Syracuse Airport there is an aviation discovery museum. We drove the 60 miles just for my 2.5 year old daughter who loves planes. This is my daughter in the cockpit of a 727.

I'd have eaten up those cheeks by now! NIce photos, but that future pilot takes the cake...!! Congrats!

"But Dadeeee," in a shrill, pouting whine, "why can't I take the 727 tonight? Lizzie down the street has her own 737!"

That's a noisy but very interesting back yard! How did the wife agree? Wonderful daughter too! Reminds me to get a cockpit picture of mine to post!

... Not sure I can beat the 727 though - maybe a R-44 ..... 8)

Think Global. It's the world we live in.

Do they always place such high fences around VOR beacons... The SPY (Spykerboor) VOR stands in the middle of a piece of farmland, with some crappy fence around it

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Thats because without a fence they couldn't shoot you for climbing anything Grin

The fence is the airport perimeter fence. The VOR is on the airport itself.

The wife dont mind the planes at all. Thought it better than the train that passed by at 'o dark thirty. This airport "closes" at 10pm. Lights become operated by pilot and control is passed to Elmira-Corning.
