Jay,

Get a diagram or picture of Logan, UT (KLGU) quick. The south end of
35/17 was great. We had a 45 degree run-off that allowed us to tow out
with the tow plane and most gliders could land and roll in past the
threshold. With the Blanik L-13 I could roll to the tie-down. Most
of the time we would launch 35, land 17 with almost no time on the
runway.

The FAA didn't like it and it is now history after this summer so in
the new diagrams and pictures it will be gone.

Glad your Airport manager is talking to you, ours made the change
without asking us for input.

Our glider club has good relations with our home airport. The airport
manager is creating a master plan for renovations of runways and
taxiways, and is receptive to ideas that will help create smoother
operations for mixed power and sailplane traffic. One of the key goals
is to minimize the time on runway for sailplane hookups and take-offs.
If you have an example of an airport layout that help in this regard
(perhaps angled taxiways, pull-offs, etc.), please let us know.
