I understand that it is a false indicator. Bottom line, some details on the folks that bought the airport.

I thought that Sheets was a separate airfield from Quest as I landed out at Sheets on a late-day return to Seminole many years ago. Google Earth may have wrongly combined them. I visited Quest (and Seminole) in August. Quest is a gem with real character worth a stop if you are in the area and want to try a tandem hang-gliding flight with very professional instructor pilots.. Check out the clubhouse upstairs at Quest to appreciate the history of the place.

The Oz Report Virus warning prevents me from checking out the Blog but I am glad to hear that Quest will survive. Here is a video I did of my Tandem flight at Quest with the chief instructor at Quest trying to teach an old glider pilot (me) how to fly hang gliders: https://youtu.be/wwoSqAXfqCM

The place I landed shows as "Osborn" 1-3/4-miles west of Sheets. Back then (2003) it had an aircraft salvage yard on the east side. I was using the (old) Seminole Turnpoints in my glide computer that must have been wrong. When I called Seminole for a retrieve from Sheets the towplane somehow found me. My memory may be faulty. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes Osborn is/was west of Sheets. I do not know the current state of Osborn. The Sheets airport is right on highway 33

Osborn looked great when I had an unspeakably close look at it during Seniors...
Fortunately a turkey-vulture showed me the way home.
See ya, Dave
