I'm not familiar with it, but it is in my neck 'o the woods. Check this link for some info:

I did my first 15 hours there in 1995.

What would you like to know about this tiny, sloping, cow pasture that requires you to fly low over the pilot's shack and drop quickly onto the downward sloping, potholed runway?

(Actually ... I've read that improvements have been made since then. God ... I hope so.)

Dang near took out the gear on a rusty 150 there during a crosswind landing in 1980...

Otherwise, it was simply a very bumpy runway with lots of "character."

I can't begin to remember how many times I came close to unloading in my pants during my first 15 on this goat track. Having a first CFI who was a crazy, terminally hungover, Dutch kid who liked to show brand new students what a spin felt like didn't help.

For some odd reason ... I find myself missing the wonder and exhileration of those first few lessons.
