Takeoff description
Towing site. Good for almost any wind direction as per runways layout. See google map. 5000ft usable space so tows are usually not so high. Mainly for practice but XC on the right day is absolutely possible.

No flying there unless priorly arranged with management and local PG club. Respect general aviation rules and use common sense. Great place for practice towing and good gateway for XC flights on the good days. USHPA or foreign ST sign off required or in training to obtain one.
