The Windy Ridge RC Flyers are proud to invite the ScaleSoaring.com community back to Loucks Field for the 4th Annual Windy Ridge Aerotow! If you haven't been to the last 3 events, you've been missing out! Plan to attend this year.
Loucks Field (25NK) is a private grass airport located in the heart of the Finger Lakes Region of upstate New York. This area has a wonderful history in aviation and we continue to add to it with this premier event. We operate off of a pair of beautiful intersecting grass runways, with plenty of room for towing operations and lots of room for those more challenging landings. Gary, the owner also generously allows us use of his hangar for overnight airplane storage. Make sure to pop in, check out his latest projects and say hello to the goats! And when it comes to meal time, don't you worry! Club President and Chef Extraordinaire Jim Smith keeps us well fed with meals provided at the field! Plan on flying from sun up to sun down and even into the night.
If you need a break from flying (and there is a lot of it!) the Glenn Curtiss Museum and National Soaring Museum are a short drive away. Don't forget to bring the wife/girlfriend along too! There are plenty of wineries, shopping, craft fairs, museums and more around to enjoy!
Landing fee is $25/day with a maximum for $50. Please help us plan by registering HERE
Camping (no hook ups) and casual flying open on Wednesday
In addition, this year we are offering T-shirts for the event, designed by my wonderful girlfriend, Marcie! This will be a special order, so if you'd like one to wear at the event please send me a PM here or email at citabria76f@gmail.com with your order and size. Shirts will be $20 and can be paid through Paypal. Last day for orders is June 14th to ensure we have them for the event!
