From MAPA:
We are going to N30 (Cherry Ridge Airport) this month. It is 60 NM WNW of N51 (Solberg). You can download more information at http://www.airnav.com/airport/N30 along with approach plates and an airport diagram. You can obtain a taxi way diagram at the AOPA web site.
It is always a good idea to pick up flight following on your way up and back. You can reach them (New York Approach) on 127.6 or 132.8 or just ask for a hand off from ground or the tower prior to departure. From MJX (Toms River) the approach frequency is 120.25 (Mc Guire) and from MGJ Orange County the approach frequency is 132.75 (New York) The Wilkes Barre Approach control is on 124.5
This is a very nice and homey airport. We will be eating at the restaurant on the field. It’s called the Airport Café and its phone number is (570) 253-5517. The FBO is Enger Aviation and its phone number is (570) 253-5833. For Penn-Jersey 99s: Arrival time is approximately 11:30 AM
