[quote][b]    

      I am looking for a place to keep and fly my Firestar II.  I live in Souderton Pa.

      Thats close to Quakertown.  If anyone has or knows of a field with hanger

      space I would appreciate it if you would let me know.

      

      I lost my old field due to development.

      

      thanks for the help



Hi Gary,



I guess how far you must drive depends upon a number of circumstances, but there is hangar 

space where I have my FF.  The address, if you'd like to Google maps it, is 910 Engler Rd.,

Nazareth 18064.  From Google's marker at the curve in Engler Rd., two drives elbow SW, one 

to the hangars and the other to the owner's house.



If you're familiar with 191 just N of the exit from 33, it forks right and goes past the 

SP barracks and Nicos Polymers plant where the 30 alarm fire was last week.  If you look to the

right on the top of the hill from there you can see the hangars.



When I lived in Lansdale and had my UltraStar I had a barn and strip in Elroy, about 3 miles

from my house.  It's not a strip any more, but was that neat!!



There are private strips around Quakertown, too, but I don't know exactly where or availability.



Good luck!

I'm from Story Wyoming and flying a original firestar, I seen the topic on the hanger space and I know the address you posted. I've known Wilson Kessler since 1977. My dad Larry Stenger sold his 1939 J-3 cub to him in 1980.  Does anyone know how Mr Kessler is doing these days ? Does he still have the cub ?

Joepilot,



Wilson "Butch" Kessler is doing well.  He sold 50 some acres of his property,

which is the airstrip, and kept the section down the hill which is his home.

He and his wife are raising their pre-teen granddaughter.  A neighbor bought

the strip, so it's still in operation.



He's contemplating a complete restoration on the Cub.  He has an early '40s Stearman

Bipe which he spent hundreds of thousands to have restored to like new condition.

He wanted to go flying it around wherever in retirement, but that hasn't happened,

possibly due to raising the child, so the Stearman is on the block and gorgeous!!!

If I had a few hundred thou to spare I'd sell my FF (Kolb related) and buy it...



He recently bought a brand new black Harley and seems to be enjoying retirement and

less obligation maintaining the airstrip.  I do more tall grass t/os and landings now,

since Butch kept it like a putting green and the current owner has a full time excavating

business.  Not a problem, just an observation.

Dave, 



Good to hear things are Ok, the strip is still active and he still has the cub.  

Thanks for the update.
