Irene and Sussex Airport
While our two home base airports, Caldwell and Linden seem to have weathered the storm reasonably well, we received the following picture of flooding at Sussex Airport (FWN). I'm sure many of us have gone there as part of our training, or to just to visit.
Our thoughts go out to the folks who run the airport, as well as the many owners whose planes were based there.
