If the weather is questionable, we recommend you call ahead before departing to confirm field conditions.

​

Upon your arrival (at least 10 min prior to your scheduled reservation time), please make yourself comfortable in the airport public terminal building.  You might take this opportunity for a restroom stop or to grab a drink or snack from the self-pay snack stand.  Or, you can relax a bit and watch the activities on the airfield.  If we are not already present in the building then we are probably helping another guest; we will be in shortly to greet you and escort you to the launch site.
