Joe and Lynn host the annual "My Place" fly-in.

Welcome to the annual "My Place 3OH7" Farm Airstrip fly-in and party.  Always the second Sunday in October.  We hope to see you this year on October 14th.  This will be our sixth year hosting the fly in.  Our goal is to return something to the aviation community, our friends and neighbors by providing a fun day of family-friendly activities and good food in a rural aviation environment.

We'll have the crops in and the aircraft and car parking areas cut and rolled. If the weather cooperates we should have a great day.
Now on Facebook:  My Place 3OH7      (that’s 3OH as in OHio 7) 
 
Last year, 2017, we served 800 meals and had over a 100 planes visit during the day.
This year we are looking for a bigger crowd.

RAIN or SHINE we will be ready to serve the best fly-in breakfast ever and we'll follow that with a great lunch with many side dishes provided by our guests.  This year we are adding fresh blueberry and pecan or chocolate chip pancakes to the breakfast menu of Miller Farm sausage, thick cut bacon, Yukon Gold skillet potatoes, Delmar’s wood fired baked biscuits with homemade sausage gravy and eggs to order.  For the lunch menu Jeanine and Ken are adding cornbread to complement their famous chili.  Due to popular demand we’ll continue to serve fried bologna and cheese sandwiches in addition to the dozens of great side dishes that our drive in guests contribute to the lunch buffet.  Donations to help offset the growing cost of food will be gladly accepted.

WE HAVE A NEW BRIDGE AND PAVED ROAD!!
DRIVING IN WILL BE MUCH EASIER.  EXIT ROUTE 42 AT TOWNSHIP ROAD 152 AND GO 1/2 MILE TO "MY PLACE".

BE ADVISED THAT CAR NAV SYSTEMS MAY TRY AND TAKE YOU TO A NEARBY ROAD, TOWNSHIP 149, THAT HAS A CLOSED BRIDGE.  Use this address for your car nav system:  3177 Coleman Road, Cardington, OH 43315

WE WILL HAVE SIGNS PLACED AT THE INTERSECTION OF ROUTE 42 AND TOWNSHIP ROAD 152 (COLEMAN ROAD).

ARRIVING BY AIR:

The runway will be cut, rolled and marked with white jugs along the side.  We are going to try and include a separate taxiway, marked with yellow buckets, this year for at least a portion of the runway.  The runway (06/24) is 2000 feet long with 600 feet of clear way from the tree line at the northeast end and the power lines have been buried along Coleman Road (Township 152) at the southwest end of the runway.  

The field elevation is 1000 feet ASL.  CTAF 122.85, traffic pattern altitude is 1000 feet AGL for fixed wing and 500 feet for helicopters.

Standard left traffic for airplanes; helicopters will avoid the flow of fixed wing aircraft.

Please give priority to aircraft using a "Young Eagle" call sign.

NOTE:  There will be a pedestrian runway crossing area adjacent to the white hangar and we will have crossing monitors posted to stop the foot traffic for arriving and departing aircraft.

AIRPLANE and HELICOPTER RIDES: (Weather Permitting)

Helicopter Rides:  The Rotorcraft Training Center, LLC, which provides pilot training for the Columbus Police Helicopter unit and is located at the Delaware Airport, will be conducting helicopter rides all day long.  They will accept cash or credit cards.  
 
Airplane Rides:  In order to accommodate the large and growing number of adults that want airplane rides we are inviting “Good Folk and O’Tymes”biplane rides to offer flights all day long in an open cockpit biplane reminiscent of the early years in aviation.  They will accept cash or credit cards.
