Radio Controlled Aircraft Operations at the Airport:
Radio Controlled (R/C) aircraft are often flown by hobbyists from the airport. R/C aircraft flight operations originate from a mowed grass area Southeast of the intersection of runways 9/27 and 17/35. While the R/C flyers are diligent about landing their aircraft whenever a full sized aircraft enters the pattern or taxis to the runway for takeoff, please be on the lookout for R/C aircraft when arriving and departing the airport.
