Hey all, I've been on here for awhile but realized I had never checked in.

Your not far from Brycekat. Sounds like you have a nice place to fly. I guess I didn't realize there was anywhere above 4000ft on the East Coast. Is your bird 912 powered?

Just a couple miles up the road the elevation peaks at 5,945ft. We have very rocky terrain like you guys out west and weather like Alaska. We just have more foliage. Our winters here in western NC are similar to mid to lower Minnesota. Extreme snowfall.

The closest place that resembles here is The Scottish highlands or Munich Germany. We have some small private strips with absolutely gnarly approaches, 32AV being near the top of that list. No mistakes can be made because you can't climb back out.

I am 582 powered.

6a4 is an awesome airport full of mostly home builds and the manager is an awesome guy with a lot of building experience. I would love to have a kitfox/avid fly in here sometime

This is truly an awesome place to visit, the scenery is aww inspiring and there is a brewery everywhere you turn. Haha good times
