A few local items matter here. No touch-and-go landings are allowed. A 4-foot unlit fence crosses runway 28. Vehicle and equipment may also be in the runway area. Wildlife is in the vicinity. This is a low-elevation coastal field with limited runway length, so plan your performance with care. The airport is owned by Historic New England Incorporated.
