Hi; Just read your thread on the Sayre meets. We used to come up there in the early to mid 90s to fly at a contest, (two Day) at a small airport. It seems all of the guys from the N.E. used to go to that meet. They had a great dinner on Saturday nights. Is the airport still there? And are the SPA meets held there?? Of all the meets we went to Sayre was one of the best.

Hi Impalas-
The "airport" is no longer an active airport, but our club has been able to retain use of that site each August for a weekend to hold our AMA pattern contest. This year is Aug 4-5 for the 53rd Annual Aeroguidance Society Pattern meet.
We do not hold any SPA events, our club holds a VRCS reunion every Labor day weekend, but that is at our beautiful club field near Endicott, NY and not at the Sayre property.
Maybe in the future we can hold an SPA event but right now facing an aging and declining membership (like many clubs I'm sure) it is tough to put on the events we already do.
