I've lived out here in Suffolk County for about 16 years. MacArthur Airport is our commercial airport that has daily flights on some of the major airlines. It is about 7 miles away from me. In addition to commercial flights there are many smaller private planes. I was in the area the other day and saw a helicopter and a few planes inside a fenced area. I love to explore and ended up meandering down a street and a few driveways to find Heritage Flight Academy. Flying lessons for planes as well as helicopters are offered. Who knew??? I couldn't get near enough to see the helicopter well, but I was able to see this plane with its covering (that looks like a cap) fairly close to the fence. With the hangar behind it I had a nice background too. I will go back again and so some of the other planes...and maybe a helicopter too.
