Flying New York’s Hudson Valley corridor in the fall is a scenic, almost breathtaking experience. The foliage displays a panoply of autumn of colors, temperatures are cool and crisp, skies are clear and the air is often smooth.

Nothing epitomizes autumn in southern New England more than Dutchess County in southeastern New York State. Located between the Hudson River on its west and the New York-Connecticut border on its east, Dutchess County is home to Sky Acres Airport (44N). Sky Acres, 10 miles east of Poughkeepsie, New York, is a non-towered airstrip nestled on a 145- acre hilltop in one of the most beautiful valleys in the United States. 44N is easy flight from more than 60 airports in the northeast and is the perfect gateway to the rest of the Hudson Valley.
