Fly In To
Houlton ME International Airport. It's small, friendly, quick to get in and out of. Right on the Canadian border of
Maine too. I have picked up many folks who fly in, scope the area out, and get on their way. Had one home with land in the country in
Amity Maine bought by folks that did not have kids. And wanted their four cats to avoid flying on a commerical airline. So for $15,000 from Washington State, they flew in with the cats on a twin engine jet like the rich and famous use. Slick, easy and the runways more than long enough.
During world war two,
Houlton International was very busy with German prisoner barracks. The prisoners were a big help to the local potato farmers needing help in getting the crops planted, cultivated, harvest. And planes flew in to
Houlton Maine were hauled before war was declared in to Canada to send to England by farmers with tractors!
