The History of Sky Acres Airport
Sky Acres Airport's (Lagrangeville, NY) beginnings can be traced back to 1956, when Doug Cochran bought his first plane, a Cessna 172, and needed a place to land it. For the next 8 years, much hard work ensued, with countless sacrifices from his wife and 6 children. He converted his farm and barn into a runway and facilities, with the vision of aviation enthusiasts one day coming together to share his love of flight. In 1964, the initial seed that was sown and diligently cultivated finally bore fruit, and his dream was realized: Sky Acres Airport. As legend has it, Herb Styles was the first aviator to land a plane at the airport. He christened Runway 35 with his single-engine Piper Comanche. He and his family purchased Sky Acres Airport in 1976, and they've owned it ever since. In 1995, the runway underwent an overhaul and was improved to FAA standards under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). The runway was enlarged and resurfaced to its current 60 foot by 3,828 foot dimensions. The parallel taxiway, Runway 17, was also extended. There are now 3 secondary parking ramps that can accommodate turbine and jet aircraft.

Stopped in for SS fuel and restaurant. Runway isn't flat, so use hill to your advantage on calm or cross wind days. SS pump was easy access, but beware; the fuel nozzle did not release from full flow when I let go of it. I had to get my hand behind the handle to push it back down into the OFF position, but by then I had sloshed a good half gallon ($3 nowadays!) of fuel down the wing and cabin of my Cessna. SS pump can get pretty busy, as the price is good for the area. Restaurant was busy, so understandably a little slow, but food was very good. Restaurant hours were 7A - 2P the day we arrived. Plane and pax topped off, we departed 35. You cannot see the far end of the runway owing to the hill, so listen/communicate on CTAF. 35 departs into rising terrain. Other than fuel nozzle issue, excellent stop!
