Camp Korey is open for business...Sailplane business that is! There will be more articles in the weeks to come, including pictures and public dates. Reminder to the membership, this field is only open to paid members that have completed a background check. See the rules for more information. Below is the press release being distributed by SASS. MODEL SOARING SOCIETY OPENS NEW FLYING FIELD
The Seattle Area Soaring Society, an organization of radio control sailplane enthusiasts, announced this week that they will be opening a new flying field in the Snoqualmie Valley, northwest of the town of Carnation. The field, located on the grounds of Camp Korey, site of the old Carnation Farm, is being established in conjunction with Camp Korey and King County. The Soaring Society (SASS) has signed an initial 15 year lease with Camp Korey for the flying of model sailplanes only, which should well match the excellent thermal (updraft) activity that has been observed at the site.
