Ercoupe at Delaware Coastal Airport – KGED

Here is the new (to me) Ercoupe in its “home” for a while. GED is fairly close to our home and is far enough inland that salt air should not be a problem. I like Ocean City Airport and used to keep my former ‘Coupe in a hangar there – but there is now a very long waiting list for hangars, and I didn’t want to tie down on a ramp so close to the Atlantic Ocean. Here at, Delaware Coastal Airport the airplane is 15 miles from the ocean and will stay a lot cleaner and not be subject to the corrosive salt air.

Ercoupe Landing in a Crosswind at Harford County 0W3

Short video of a crosswind landing at a general aviation airport.

Ercoupe 415-C landing and first attempt at video with a FLIP (which did not do a good job with the propeller). The landing was good in a slight crosswind of 12 KTS Gusting to 18. Harford County (0W3) Airport is a great base for our Ercoupe with an interesting array of aircraft, maintenance service and friendly staff.
