TEAM GORGEOUS is proud to announce the Third annual TEAM GORGEOUS AEROTOW!
The event will be the weekend of April 21-23, 2016 at the wonderful:

HORSE FEATHERS AIRPORT
9669 Green Rd.
Midland, Va. 22728

https://binged.it/2mUU3Ir

Club donation of $15 per day or $40 for the full 3 days......

CAMPING ON SITE HAS BEEN APPROVED!!!

Lunch will not be offered on field at this time....so plan accordingly and pack a lunch.


We offer some of the best Aerotowing and Aerotalking this side of the Mississippi River!


Towing will be non-stop all 3 days!

The flying field is marked in red....the runway is to the right and is 1 mile long.
The whole field is down in a "valley" and has some of the best lift around.
ESL has a spring and fall contest here every year and those of you that have
flown here know how epic the lift can be.










Here is a video I took with my trusty KA-8 that gives you a birds eye view of the field.....don't mind the tow rope I shagged around with me!
I did manage to drop it right on the runway before I went around on finial!
Also the field had not been mowed so the grass was a bit tall on the runway.....it will be mowed for the event!

The field look...... gorgeous!

It is....this is where I flew from the late 1980's up until mid 2000's when Aerotowing took off on the East Coast and places like Cumberland and SKSS opened up for flying.....I would love to have this be the April Event Spot for years to come......April in Virginia is always nice.....

[French1]

Would love to join but this year will not be an option, I am traveling overseas, I put this down on my agenda for next year with pleasure

[gunny11]

Sounds great Tom! Let us know if we can camp on the premises.

[Steve P]

I flew ESL contests at this site for many years when we lived in Baltimore. Frank's place became "the" spot after National Geographic sold their property and the CASA events had to find a new home. A beautiful part of the country and there are some wineries and other touristy things in the area for spouses or families to do while the planes are flying.

Ill be moving my company into new offices in NYC over that weekend, so I'll be about as far from aerotowing as one can get! All good wishes for a successful event!

[Tom]

Camping on site has been approved!!!
so Gunny, JeffD, Steve&Kevin, Russ, and anyone else that wants to camp.......you are good to go!
