Thanks to dedicated volunteers and member donations, we completed a major upgrade to our flying field. The project included:
Site assessment and planning (May–June 2025)
Crack repair, surface grinding, and asphalt sealing (July–September 2025)
Painting of centerlines, taxiways, and engine kill zones
Regrading and gravel restoration of the access road
The improvements have made the field smoother, safer, and more enjoyable for all members. Thank you to everyone who helped!
