Take-off 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.
Getting there
Adams County Airport-Legion Field Friendship (Adams), Wisconsin, USA. See google map for directions.
Weather
General NOAA or any other proper weather forecast tool. Wide open field surrounded by forest on 360 so expect wind shifts, sudden thermals and normal turbulence on strong days.
Rules / airspace
This is an active airport. There must be an aviation radio turned on and listening at all times during pg activities there. No PG flying unless local airport and PG instructor are notified. Parking only at designated areas. No random driving on runways. USHPA members ONLY!
Comments
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.
