This is one of the NICEST flying sites in the nation, especially in the Southeast!
We have a HUGE flyover area that is flat (hay field) with NO obstructions!
Our Runway and Pit area is a Bermuda Hybrid Blend or “Golf Course" grass, so to speak.
Our Clubhouse is a concrete building with Power, A/C, Fridge, Microwave, Water Cooler, and it also has Air Conditioned Men’s and Women’s Restrooms.
We have nice Pilot Sheds on concrete slabs with Huge Tables (40%’s fit on top of them) and Power Outlets in the Sheds.
There is also plenty of room for EZ Up’s as well.
RV’s and Campers are Welcome, although we currently do not have hookups for you, we do have water available to refill fresh water tanks, etc. and power outlets in the sheds to use - just bring your own extension cords.
The field will be locked late at night and secure - If you plan on arriving at the field late at night, staying or camping at the field, or if you will be arriving on Thursday or an earlier day, please contact me for further info.
Feel free to leave your trailers on site, even if you aren’t camping at the field.
