Spring - March 20th!


Fuel Prices Go Up, Up, Up

General aviation is being effected by the rapidly increasing fuel prices. We are trying to hold our rental and retail fuel prices as long as possible. If you are a renter, try to top off before you leave 39N.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Wear something green on March 17th and you will be entered into a drawing for a free hour in a C-152 or 20 gallons of fuel.

Attention: Primary & Advanced Students

The most current videos have just arrived and are now available for viewing. We are setting the limit of two days for rental due to the high demand. We will also charge you for the full amount of replacement if not returned promptly.

These videos are the most updataed information available to students - even as your textbook might need revising. With evening ground school classes beginning, there will be an increase in utilization. Please cooperate.


Daylight Savings Time - April 2nd. Spring Forward! Clocks go ahead.


Happy 15th Anniversary!

15 years ago, Ken Nierenberg got the bright idea to buy Princeton Airport. We were at the end of our lease at Kupper Airport, and Princeton had been up for sale for four years. He bops into the office and says to his parents, "Let's buy Princeton!" The rest is history. This sleepy little airport has become a top notch general aviation facility, thanks to hard work, and you, our loyal customers and staff. Here's to the next 15 years. Many thanks!


Do you remember the trip you planned last summer, only to be grounded by haze and/or fog? Don't get caught in that trap again - get an instrument rating. Join our Instrument Ground School class which will begin as soon as we have 12 people. (We have 8 as of press time). Chris Wilson will teach it and he has proven to be an excellent teacher. We have eight CFIIs, so we can accommodate your needs. Call for information. If you start now, with some diligence, you could be IFR rated by summer.

Single Subject Safety Seminar

As the weather improves, the traffic will increase at Princeton. We have seen short tempers and some unsafe procedures lately. Let's all stay cool, but more importantly, let's follow standard procedures and take a few extra minutes in the name of safety. Let's
make 39N as safe as possible!
