Sterling Airport is a public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) southwest of the central business district of Sterling, a town in Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States. It is privately owned by Monadnock Realty Corp.〔 It is a fairly inexpensive place to rent airplanes, as the starting rate is $75/hour for a two-seater Cessna 150. The airport has lots of parking spaces out in the sun or in hangars. The Sterling Airport closes its runways in October when the (Sterling Fair ) is up and running at the airport, during which time, all the aircraft tied down on the field must be flown elsewhere. Even the glider trailers are moved off-field. But after the fair, the airport opens for normal operations once again. Sterling Airport is also the home of the Greater Boston Soaring Club. == Facilities and aircraft == Sterling Airport covers an area of 100 acres (40 ha) at an elevation of 459 feet (140 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 16/34 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,086 by 40 feet (941 x 12 m) and one helipad designated H1 which is 50 by 50 feet (15 x 15 m).〔 For the 12-month period ending June 1, 2010, the airport had 49,260 aircraft operations, an average of 134 per day: 99% general aviation, <1% air taxi, and <1% military. At that time there were 78 aircraft based at this airport: 37% single-engine, 3% multi-engine, 56% glider, and 4% ultralight.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sterling Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
