Dacy Airport is a

to facilitate 3 landing strips, hangars, a repair shop, tie down area,
fueling area, and office complex.
The longest airstrip is 3,700 feet long and runs east and west, accommodating
larger aircraft up to light twin-engine planes. A southeast and
northwest airstrip measures 2,750 feet long. The shortest airstrip
runs north and south and is 2,650 feet in length.
Dacy Airport is well known for its collection, repair and sales of
antique planes, particularly the vintage WWII Stearman Bi-plane.
Dacy also specializes in the sale and repair of recreational and sport
aviation planes.
The ground operation is open 7 days a week and is open to the
public. Night landings after 10:30 are available by request.
There are no landing fees. During the summer months, open cockpit
rides give a pleasurable and thrilling view of Harvard and the
surrounding area. |
