Hi.

This site is here because another one evaporated. For almost thirty years, Carney Aviation provided light airplanes at Bridgeport, Connecticut. By the time the business closed in 2008, it had a web site with some useful features.

There was a small Aviation Library and several hundred Links that I didn't want to lose, so they're here.

Destinations, too. They're still centered on the Bridgeport airport in Stratford, Connecticut. I've been told this airport is hard to spot. Here's a look at the approach from the Northeast.

Carney closed up shop suddenly, and with no small amount of mystery. Because of many unanswered questions, I decided to post an update page. Three years on, Blue Sky Flight School has moved in to fill the gap. There aren't so many airplanes, but the office is bigger and better, and business is good. The Carney story has pretty well run its course, but it's still here if you want to read it.

Or, you can read about some of the trips we've taken.

Take a short trip of your own - visit The Lady.

Recent traffic on a mail list reminded me that some of the fly-ins were also worth remembering. (OK, it's a very short list for starters.)

Here's a trip that had a very unexpected ending.

I have a few things on Flickr, too.
