Fall is on its way in the Northeast, bringing the promise of great flying weather, and pilots will find plenty of interesting destinations to explore via SocialFlight's website and app. At the Goodspeed Airport, near East Haddam, Connecticut, the 5th Annual Helicopter Gathering is set for this weekend. The field is right on the edge of the Connecticut River, and seaplanes are welcome. A small town nearby offers food and an opera house. For an outdoors adventure, the airport at North Carolina's Ocracoke Island, along the Outer Banks, hosts a fly-in on Saturday. The airport is sited amid 16 miles of pristine wild beaches protected by the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. A nearby tourist village provides shopping, restaurants, nightlife and places to stay. A barbecue lunch will be hosted by the airport at noon.
