Before you call the airport thinking that little yellow airplane flying low in your neighborhood is a hazard, read this...

🌱✈️ We wanted to let our local neighbors and community know that starting September 10th, you may notice low-flying airplanes over local farms in northern and central NJ.

They’re not spraying—these planes are planting cover crops across 3,000 acres of farmland. Cover crops aren’t harvested; instead, they grow through fall and winter to:
✅ Cover and protect soil from erosion
✅ Improve soil health
✅ Keep weeds down

Aerial seeding will occur in the following Townships:
WARREN COUNTY:
Blairstown, Franklin, Greenwich, Harmony, Hope, Liberty, Mansfield, Pohatcong, Washington
HUNTERDON COUNTY:
East Amwell, Franklin, Holland, Raritan, West Amwell
MERCER COUNTY:
Hopewell

Happy Independence Day. If you're coming to the airport today or in the next few days, please know that there are power lines and trees down alongside our driveway. The driveway is passable, but exercise caution. The airport is experiencing partial power losses around the campus. The runway is open but airfield lighting, the AWOS, and the fuel system are down. Some buildings are without power as well. The restaurant is open but check with other individual businesses to ascertain thier status.

Thanks to local farmer Wes Pandy for providing this explanation of the aerial agricultural operations that are taking place around Hunterdon County. This happens every year around this time so before you call the airport because the sky is falling, have a listen.

Please be advised that beginning on or about 1/20/2023, weather permitting, Chesapeake Bay Helicopters will be mobilizing to the JCP&L region to begin performing comprehensive visual inspections (CVIs) on all JCP&L 500kV and 230kV lines. These inspections are expected to take approximately six weeks to complete, however, any storm or outage-related patrols could prolong completion. The helicopter to be used is as follows:

White w/black and red stripes, Hughes MD500 with red tail registration number N717MA

A comprehensive visual inspection (CVI) is a slow, structure-by-structure, span-by-span inspection where the inspector onboard the helicopter gets a thorough look from top to bottom of each structure, associated hardware, and conductors of the transmission line(s). The helicopter will be moving very slowly along each of the transmission lines and will often be seen hovering while carrying out these inspections.
