2. Information for ultralights

Warning: MTR (military training route) VR-1130 is just northeast of the airport.  Aircraft speed can exceed 250 knots and be at altitudes lower than 1,500' AGL.   I recommend that all ultralights flying near this route have a strobe that is easily seen during daylight hours such as this one.  See the strobe page for instructions on how to install it.

*MILITARY AIRCRAFT HAVE BEEN SEEN FLYING LOW OVER THE CITY 500' AGL.*

All ultralights are warned to stay away from the approach to riunway 19 (red line).  General aviation aircraft cannot see you. 

3. Directions to Hangar #14 (Southwest Airsports)

Come in the airport entrance (top of photo) and go through the open gate, immediately turn right at the "y", head towards the taxiway that goes north/south through the airport to the end of the buildings, then left onto the taxiway that goes to our hangar, the last one in the airport.  The hangar has a huge sign with our name on it so you cannot miss it.
