About This Community Outreach Program
Frisbie Memorial Hospital is participating in a collaborative community outreach project to get local businesses more involved with Greater Rochester’s health.
Explains Alyssa Grant, Director, Physician & Provider Relations, “There’s no deadline and this is open to any business that would like to participate. I will be going out this week to drop off kits containing pumpkins, paints, and brushes to those who want them. I’d be more than happy to drop off as many kits as you would like! Together we can raise awareness to save lives right in our own community. ”
Hidden Gem, Skyhaven Airport
By Andrew Pomeroy C.M.
The early morning silence is broken as I announce my entrance into the right downwind for Runway 33 at Skyhaven Airport in Rochester, NH. The world below is bathed in that early morning amber glow during what we photo geeks call “the golden hour.” Rounding out from base to final approach over the golf course; throttle back, flaps down, windsock hanging limp, the Cessna floats down for final approach. The PAPI’s tell me what I already know and we’ve actually got it all set up perfectly for once. I have some time to relax and take it all in as we glide slowly down final.
The deep emerald green of the well-maintained grass is framed nicely with the curvy, hilly ribbons of asphalt taxiways that give the airport a pleasant, homey almost pastoral aesthetic. Can airports be beautiful? I may be biased but I believe this one really is and strikingly so.
I note right away that there is already activity below. The doors to the Skyhaven Flying Clubs hangars are open and the planes are out. On the tie down ramp sits a Citation Jet that came in sometime last night and I recognize a local physician tying down his beautifully restored Tri-Pacer on the ramp. With practices in a couple states he uses his Piper to commute between them. Skyhaven is conveniently located right down the street from his local office. He’s one of a handful of physicians and businessmen who regularly fly to do the same. So I’m not the only one flying to work this morning, nor am I even the first today.
I taxi up to the ramp near the terminal building. Currently, the terminal is getting a much needed facelift and modernization to include improved ADA access and ADA accessible restrooms. The Skyhaven Airport is owned and operated by the Pease Development Authority, and as the name implies we manage both the Portsmouth International Airport (KPSM) and the Rochester Skyhaven Airports (KDAW). This allows us to take some of those big, international airport resources and apply them here at the smaller community GA airport. The current terminal renovation is an example of this as the work is being done in house by some of the Portsmouth Airport’s talented maintenance staff.

See the MagnifiSENT Sky Divers Sunday!
A shout out to the amazing lady skydivers. We can’t wait to see these incredible humans sky diving at Skyhaven Airport Sunday!
About the MagnifiSENT:
This is a group of women with the common interest of skydiving. All of them met in the sport throughout 2020. However their story began August 7th of 2020 at the Point Break Boogie Skydive Coastal Carolinas. They were invited to set an all female head up state record. There, they fell in love with working together for a common goal and the connection that was built in the process.
Back home in Florida, they started putting together a plan to break the FL 4-way and US national 5-way record at Skydive City! They expanded from 8 amazing humans to 12 and after nailing those records. Today, they continue to travel the country, building their skill levels together, making new connections, and obtaining new goals!
The idea of reaching out to local women at their home dropzones and getting not only experienced flyers but newer jumpers that we feel confident in involved is a large part of our goal to keep growing and expanding our reach – as well as motivating other women to get together to set and break records as well!
If that is the kind of positivity you like to see in the world, if you like what we are doing and want to see more, give us a follow and see where this endeavor takes us!
