Nutmeg Soaring Association is a soaring club which operates at (and owns) Freehold Airport. It owns 4 2-place training gliders and 2 single-place gliders, and operates 2 tow planes for the use of its members. Freehold Airport is located 0.7 miles west of Freehold, New York 12431, about 30 miles south of Albany, 15 miles northwest of Catskill and 15 miles north of Hunter Mountain.
Our airport has a 2275-foot long blacktop runway, with a 600-foot over-run at both ends. Soaring is interesting, since we can soar over the northern Catskill Mountains. Windham High Peak (5 miles south of us) with its 3550-foot elevation generates enough lift to keep us aloft even on days when other area gliding sites are on the ground.
Visitors are welcome. We operate on good-weather weekends (sometimes on Fridays too) from mid-April to mid-November. To visit us at the launch-line, visitors should seek assistance from someone on the field. There's usually someone on the runway side of the hangar buildings or near the administration building. You can also request assistance by calling us on the launch-line phone at 518-634-7346.
