• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

KAUG, the site of my first airplane ride. Must have been 1975-ish. When I joined the navy, I would return home on leave on those Air New England DCH-6 Twin Otters, from Boston to Augusta and back again. Loved riding in those Twin Otters, while they lasted, but even Air New England went bust not long after I joined the navy. Then it was Beech-99s from whatever airline still flew into KAUG. When I was a wee lad our house was on Sand Hill, just a couple miles from the end of runway 26. When planes would land on that runway they would pass pretty low over our house. Great memories.
