Nevada County pilots support an elementary school program at various levels on announced days. Just reading and seeing the Static F104 is an experience. Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier and a model of that plane is here with informational plaques.
The tradition of tacking a t-shirt to the ceiling upon one's first solo flight continues.
There are several interesting models. One or two are radio controlled.
The city transit stops here.
Runway is east/ west most from west.
