Strathaven Airfield from the air on the 2009 Fly-in event

Sunday 20th June is the Scottish Flying Club's Folk Festival Fly-In, from 1pm till 6pm. There will be live music with local bands, food, drinks, Fairtrade tea and coffee, and more...
Between 2pm and 4pm we will have aeromodelers, power kites and hovercraft.
This is a family event organised between The Scottish Flying Club and The Adam's Comunity Trust. There will be a Ł2 charge for parking. All makings will go to ACT, a local charity that uses its funds to improve the comunity.
For ALL VISITING AIRCRAFT there is free camping and free landing fees all weekend.
At Strathaven Airfield, no PPR is required for the Fly-In and unleaded petrol will be available all weekend.
Strathaven Airfield uses Safetycom (135.475mhz) as its radio frequency. Please make blind calls to Strathaven Traffic and do not expect a response. Be aware, more wind sensitive aircraft may be using the cross-wind runways while larger aircraft may need the length of the main runway.
Our windsock is ex-Glasgow Airport and is horizontal at 30kts. The online weather station is currently out of order due to the reacent hangar fire.
Strathaven Airfield is at 847ft above sea level, so the 1,000ft wind on the Form 214 gives a good forecast. In southerlies, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Prestwick Airports will all have a significantly lower wind in their METARs than Strathaven.
To get Strathaven's QFE, simply subtract 31mbs from Glasgow's QNH.
