[RCSE] LISF Annual Aerotow Event August 17 and 18, 2001

[Tyra, Fred]

The Long Island Silent Flyers (LISF) invite you to participate in the LISF Annual Aerotow Event on August 17 and August 18, at the LISF field in Syosset, New York, located on Long Island. There is no entry fee charged at this event. This year, for the first time, we are holding the event for two days in a row.
 
We will have several glow-fuel powered tugs, as well as our new electric quarter-scale Piper J-3 Cub aerotow tug, available for towing your scale sailplanes. John Derstine from Endless Mountain Models (EMM) is planning to be there with his tug and may have some models on display and for sale (John was the organizer for the past Elmira Aerotow Events in New York). Robin Lehman is planning on attending as well.
 
We will also have available hot dogs, hamburgers and sodas, for a modest fee.
 
The event will be held at the Stillwell Woods Park Preserve in Syosset, New York. The field is situated on a beautiful 365-acre preserve.

 

Directions to the field are as follows: From the Long Island Expressway (Route 495) take Exit 44N (Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway - Route 135). Go north for approximately one half mile to the Jericho Turnpike East (Route 25) Exit which is the next to the last exit on Route 135. Go on Jericho Turnpike east to Southwoods Road. Make a left onto Southwoods Road going north. Proceed north 2 1/4 miles on Southwoods Road to the Stillwell Woods Park Preserve on the right. (You will pass Syosset High School on the left.) Make a right into the preserve parking lot and follow the road along the right side of the soccer field to the gated entrance to the preserve. Proceed 1/4 mile from the gate to the field.
