Aerotow on Long Island - CHANGED to July 10, 2005 (30 miles east of New York City)
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- The Long Island Silent Flyers Annual Summer Aerotow will be a one day event to be held on the rain date now, Sunday July 10. We moved it from Saturday to Sunday because the weather will be much nicer on Sunday. Saturday will have the tail end of the remnants of tropical storm Cindy coming through the area. The aerotow will be held at the Stillwell Woods Park Preserve in Syosset, New York. We will have gas and glow powered tugs at the field that day, and we will have long and wide crossed runways cut for the aerotow. The field is situated on a beautiful 365 acre preserve. The aerotow will start at 10 am, and end approximately 3 pm. There are no fees, and planes up to 1/3 scale can be accommodated by our aerotow pilots. 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 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.
