RE: Images - Bev & Joel Flying A Trainer
Bill, Looking forward to the pictures of your field. Wow, a 6700 ft runway...I would never have to learn right pattern. Even with a 40 mph tail wind, I could land and never run off the end!!! Ours is around 750-760 ft. by 50 ft wide. It also runs approx. SE to NW. I've uploaded a photo of the finished runway extension done last February. We do have trees and an expressway flyover at the East end and along the North side, but overall about 55 acres of flying field. This time of year we have afternoon thundershowers that come through. Sometimes you can just wait them out. The temperature is in the low 90's...brutal hot if there is no wind. I should have gotten into this hobby in the late fall...but it's been great for my tan!!! Your Chamber of Commerce would be proud of your description...and you get to see my favorite constellation "The Southern Cross". Of course it's also on your Flag!!!
