Visit to a small backyard aerodrome to get a paint the plane estimate...nice place!
Circle W Aerodrome near New Berlin, PA (close to York Thomasville Airport).
Looked a little tight, but landed and departed OK without pax or a full fuel load, and early in the day before the heat/density altitude.
Good times with wingmen! These little airports are the heart and soul of general aviation!

Early Saturday AM - getting over the scud.
Oh, there is one of the LAST DRIVE - IN Theaters in America...neat-o!
Yup, another aviator up early to go do some aviating in a beautiful yellow bi-plane...looks pretty cool.
Thanks for helping me find this little place, iFly! Good on all of yinz!
Well, lookee there - Circle W and home of Weaver Aircraft Restoration! Looks good to me...short but OK!
Well, the trailing edge of the aerodrome looks ok to me...if I had to do a go - around.
The middle of the field looks OK to me as well - let's look a bit more and give it a try - first time here!
The approach end, 01, looks to be ok once I clear those trees to land on the line...can do.
On FINAL - time to put the camera down and focus on a short and soft field landing at this aerodrome I am coming to for the first time...
On the ground -- NOT TOO SHABBY....
And here comes my wingman! Good landing old buddy!
Time for a paint job - got my money's worth out of that paint that has been on AJ since 1976! Going with the SAME SCHEME as it is a "Bicentennial Theme" and I love the USA.
Going RETRO and RED, WHITE, and BLUE!
Well, will you lookee there - a 6-8 point buck taking a gander at the planes that landed on HIS field! Beautiful!
My painter flies THIS...very cool.
Cliff is also restoring THIS beaufiful Beech - 18! It is magnificent!
He also flies THESE - almost 100 of them!
Cliff can restore ANYTHING....
Old HOT ROD comes to life...
ALL good airports have a panapoly of good dogs and cats wondering around oblivious to engine noise...this is the clear sign of a highly - functional and friendly aerodrome!
We "slap the table" and agree on a price and timeline....now time to let Cliff back back to home/family and work!
And the short, soft field departure works fine -- off to the next place for some chow with my wingman!
Going in for a paint job soon!
Wingman in flight!
