Well…to put it bluntly - I get WAY TOO MUCH SPAM! If you have a legitimate question, please call us. Leave a message on the machine. We check the phone a lot more often than the email. We’d rather talk to you than type anyway…thanks.

At this time the newly constructed partial parallel taxiway is open for use. It is lit (PCL) paved & striped, however, signage and our two new windsocks have not yet arrived for installation. They should arrive & be installed during the first few weeks of December. The taxiway will be closed for those items to be installed so stay tuned and check those NOTAMs! (since it will be a local NOTAM)

 Happy taxiing!

…is currently underway. The schedule of work provided by the contractor, Bridgecorp, shows a completion date of November 30, 2006! Looks like paving will happen soon as the new taxiway is at the same level as the ramp and there are a few coats of gravel appearing. One team is working on the installation of the new windsock & segmented circle. More to come!

Okay - its now official. The runway is NOTAMd closed Monday thru Wednesday July 24-26, 2006, for sealing of the blacktop.

Of course, check with official NOTAM sources prior to planning any flights into or out of IWI. (I.e. Get a pre-flight brefing).

The contractor, Sealcoating, will begin work at 7 AM on Monday the 24th. They estimate that work will take 2-1/2 days. Unless it’s pouring rain, they can work.

The NOTAM will be cancelled as soon as the work is complete and the area has been cleaned and inspected.

If you have any questions, please give us a ring or email.

Katahdin Wings (chapter of the 99s) members Jenny Jorgensen and Mary Build placed 5th in the Air Race Classic, flying a 1975 Cessna 182 on Wipaire Floats. This was the first time an amphibious aircraft has flown this historic air race, which started at Falcon Field, Mesa, Arizona (FFZ) and ended at Marinette Twin County, Menominee, Michigan (MNM).

Jenny’s normal airplane, her Luscombe, is based here at Wiscasset airport.

Congrats to team 33!

This is an advanced notice of our upcoming runway repairs. Right now the contractor is scheduled to perform the work starting July 24 and lasting three days. The runway will be closed during these repairs, so if you are planning to do some flying during those days, take this into consideration.

We will keep you updated as we get closer to the scheduled work.
