Does anyone have information on Thunder Ridge Airpark in Utah? Is it landable for a 20 meter ship? Airnav shows the runway as only 48 feet wide, on the video online the brush looks low on the sides.

Thanks, Jim Dingess


I just landed my 13.5 m Silent2 Electro there last week. I had 20mins electrical sustainer left for a 25 min flight over unlandable terain to get back to Hebert.

It is 50' wide and paved. The "shurbury" is about 2' tall at the edges.
I landed up hill so that my wings could spread out in to the tiedown area.
It is developing and I imagine the developer would be glad to run a grader for some distance to accomodate a 20m glider. Just have to hire him : )
