From the Website:
Our flying field is located at 6590 Africa Rd., 1/4 mile east of the Alum Creek Dam in Delaware County.
In 1987, the WMAA leased this ten acre site from the US Army Corps of Engineers. No public money is spent on this field. We started with an undeveloped parcel of land and have installed:
•A 900 foot long grass runway.
•Protective fencing.
•Five concrete pad flying stations
•A concrete paved pilot preparation area including workbenches and setup/engine starting stands.
•A frequency control board with slots for each channel to hold pilots’ AMA cards.
•A shelter house with several picnic tables.
•A paved parking lot.
•Secure equipment storage sheds.
•A portable toilet.
•A windsock and flagpole.
•Extensive landscaping.
AMA and club rules are prominently posted.
As this field is public land, anyone with a valid AMA license who follows AMA and field rules can fly, whether they are a WMAA member or not.
