November 6, 2024Beware! This airport at times is becoming an accident "waiting to happen"! With the FBO based flight school on the field it can,at times, be very busy. The flight school planes clog the pattern, are barely understandable on the radio and fly wide, long patterns, not to mention using all 3600' to land a Cherokee. Keep your head on a swivel and hold out somewhere if necessary.

November 1, 2024Echoing Jacob and Steve. Additional notes: the auto-weather system under reports the crosswind. Advise double checking the wind socks at both ends of the runway... Fysa at times they also disagree with one another. Beware If landing 11, crosswinds over 10kts tumble over the buildings creating unexpected updrafts and down drafts in the last moments before landing.
