The Granite State offers mountain peaks and New England charm.
Fun fact: First in the nation to hold presidential primary!
Granite State flying centers on Manchester (KMHT) and the former SAC base at Pease (KPSM); small mountain strips serve White Mountains tourism, and a devoted EAA chapter network trains new pilots.
Best season: May–October is the season; foliage flying is the highlight, with peak-traffic weekends and early mountain icing the risks.
Airspace: Manchester (KMHT) Class C and Pease (KPSM) Class D handle most traffic; the Whites are uncontrolled mountain terrain, the Boston Class B shelf clips the southeast, and foliage-season traffic is heavy.
