  • Windy Ridge Aerotow 2020 Aug 20-23

    The Windy Ridge RC Flyers have decided to go ahead with our event as scheduled, but with a few changes.

    We will not be providing food at the field, so anyone who attends will have to provide for themselves.
    We will have to practice social distancing at the event.
    These plans are still tentative and can change based on what New York State has to say over the next month or so.
    We'll continue to provide updates here as the event gets closer.

    With that out of the way...

    We will be holding the Windy Ridge Aerotow with new and improved dates at Louck's Field!

    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!

    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.



    Directions to the Windy Ridge field

    Field Address: 8961 Ridge Road Hammondsport NY 14840


    Your GPS will get you there, but, it will probably take you the back way, pretty, but some dirt roads. (Ask Len)

    Here is the recommended route to Windy Ridge field, nice pavement, no dirt:
    Take exit 38 off route 86 – Bath Exit
    You will see hotels at this exit
    Follow route 54 North signs
    You will see the Hammondsport Fire department on your left.
    Take the next right up the hill – this is Rt 87, Wayne road
    You will see a sign for Watkins Glen and Camp Gorton, Turn right on Rt 114
    Turn Left on Ridge Road (first left)
    Go just about a mile and you will see the field on the left

    Looking forward to seeing everyone!

              Weather forecast is great, field looks spectacular. Mike O and Steve K moved some tables and did some mowing today. I'll be heading up tomorrow to get the runways mowed. If you were still on the fence, charge your batteries and load your gliders, this event is going to be fantastic. See you there!

                      Spent the morning getting the runway mowed, just missing some pilots and airplanes. Can't wait!
