Why Moved to Ranch (from Sod Farm)?
- Field: We now have more room to operate F3L at the ranch due to the removal of the north building and shelter. Also, our home field is more dynamic for a more interesting soaring experience. If you have been to the ranch, you also know that it is a much more scenic location, including green winter grass.
- Flexibility to allow early arrivals and later departures: Rather than waiting until Friday afternoon to arrive and practice, pilots can arrive days in advance to relax and practice at the ranch. You also don't need to rush off after the contest to make way for sod farm operations.
- Facilities: We have a shelter to operate from, restroom facilities, wifi, power and allow for some storage of planes on site. We also have better food options when operating from this location.
