Weather: Warm in the summer, snowy and cold in the winter.
Comments: Comes with a super-friendly, paramotor pilot and aviation loving owner.
I have not yet flown here but, after spending several fly-ins with Gary, can attest to his vigorous love of all things airworthy. I have flown just outs.
Gary’s place was featured in a 2007 Powered Sport Flying Magazine article. It’s wide open in spite of all the colors. Gary’s place is outside the surface area of Syracuse airport by about 7 miles. The little flag at Cazenovia lake means that pilots use the lake as a reporting site when calling Syracuse Approach Co
Landowner: Gary Carter, paramotor and fixed wing ultralight pilot.
Permission: Ask Gary, he’s likely to say yes.
Sensitive Areas: Houses. It’s easy to avoid the neighbors.
