Visiting Windham Airport in Willimantic, CT – IJD

August 18, 2008

I had to run over to Home Depot this afternoon to grab some more driveway sealing supplies. On the way over, I thought it would be really cool to stop by and see what the Windham Airport looks like. It’s right across the street of the Home Depot. Of course, I would go buy the supplies first and then check out the airport.

After I did what I had to do, I made a right into the airport road. I have been seeing small single prop planes practicing over the house a lot. I know many of them are coming from IJD. So many of them are Cessnas, like the one I used to fly. Secretly, I have been getting the itch to get back up in the air lately. I am not going to tell that to anyone though.

The driving area at this airport is quite small. I am used to all the roads going through Orange County Airport. Basically, I drive in, make a right and park. That’s it. I would like to find a spot to watch the planes taking off and landing…without a big fence in front of me.

So, I stopped in the parking lot and took a few pictures. There are two runways at this airport and they are pretty good size. I saw what I wanted to and then left.

On the way out, I read a sign that said something like, “Airport monitored by cameras at all times.” I thought, “Great, there I am taking random pictures of who knows what.” Maybe they got me on camera. I really don’t think I am the only one who would take pictures at an airport, right?
