| Misc | This is a public facility that allows RC flying. Open 8 a.m. to dusk during summer season (May 1 through November 30). You must have either AMA, SMA, or proof of home owner's insurance covering RC vehicals. You can buy a single day pass the day you want to fly, but if you want to fly on a weekend you'll need to buy it ahead of time because the office is closed weekends. Passes usually get mailed the same day they receive the form by fax or mail so you should have it in 1-2 days. |
| Runways | The field is 11 acres, rectangular in shape, and oriented East-West / North-South, which makes it very suitable for morning flights. |
