Default RE: Post pic of your runway from Google Earth

What a great idea for a thread! Kudos to you beachbrada, one hell of an idea.

My club field is an old dump that was covered. Our club prez had the field named after him and they opened it in 2001 sometime. I joined late in 2008 so am a relative newcomer to the field. It is located SouthEast of Seattle and is out in the boonies a bit. The flying field itself is located at the top of the mound (about 60ft elevation) above the road that passes by it. Once you are in the air you are actually quite a ways above the trees surrounding it. Grass runway and is a haven for the elk in the winter months for a decent place to bed down and make deep prints in the runway............. Makes landings with smaller tires a bit of a challenge but it still is a very out of the way place and quite nice to get away from it all and tear up the skys.
