DESCRIPTION

(Comments by local pro pilot Kari Castle) This is a beautiful morning site. Need to be on launch by 9:30-10am ready to go. For PG the launch is rough, complete with Velcro bushes!! Tricky site in that the West wind will come in and will change fast. Many pilots get caught on launch waiting for it to get better - better to wait in the sky scratching around while it turns on. Don't fly over the horses in the LZ!!! Don't land in the green grass by the horses and obey the no fly zone by Mammoth Airport. You must be over 3,000ftAGL to fly over Hwy 395 and a 5-mile area of the airport!!!
