    Warm Springs in Depth

    Launch: The launch is a 3500 foot smooth cement runway. There are an extra couple of hundred feet of grass at the south end of the runway. If the winds are from the north, you can use this area to extend the tow a little.
    Landing:
    General info: The manager of the runway, Oscar, lives at the white house at the southern end of the runway. He is friendly and may sit out in the backyard to watch the antics. The runway serves about 2 to 3 aircraft per day on weekends. A club of scale model jet enthusiasts is often flying here on Sundays. Try to tow someplace else if you have a choice on Sundays.

    Park all vehicles except the tow vehicle in the parking lot. Watch out for incoming aircraft at all times.
