takeoff | It is a VERY long glide to the main LZ - you must gain altitude, or you won't make it over some hills out in front. It is extremely difficult to get back to the road from there. So land on the big open BAIL OUT LZ below and in front of launch. Watch how and where locals lay their wings out, and choose which spot seems to suite you best to launch. Launch there can be very dangerous, it is a sheer rock face similar to Tollhouse. |

landing | Helipad landing: Bbe aware of the surrounding trees, barb wire and telephone wires. The helipad is small, restricted and can be hot. Right next to the Road ...no hiking out ! If you overshoot, it drops down, and you'll probably end up in the trees. There is a Barb Wire fence that keeps you from coming in low. Huge open cow fields below launch: Bail out LZ is HUGE and slightly uphill and can be a very fast no wind landing. Land there and hike out. Hiking out is not bad ..as it is along a dirt road. You will have to take your boots off to cross a shallow stream. Farmers are friendly. |
