    Description

    This is a public-use, privately owned airport. Visitors are strongly advised to land northbound and depart southbound due to the slope. Downhill landings on days of strong winds from the south should be approached carefully as the slope increases to the south. On a northbound landing, consider a touchdown about 500 feet down the runway to avoid the somewhat rough ground on the south end. Gate is locked to keep out the scrap metal thieves but if you know the ctaf you should probably be able to escape.

      First in Flight - RC Jet Rally - Wilson, NC

      A few videos from the RC Jet Rally, in Wilson, North Carolina, this past Sunday (May 24, 2015). Unfortunately most of the RC Jets were already gone by the time I was able get to Wilson Industrial Air Center Airport where the event was being held, but I was still able to catch a few flights on video. This event is a huge annual gathering of radio-control jet enthusiasts, usually during the week preceding Memorial Day. The five day event features hundreds of RC turbine-powered jets being flown by top pilots from all over the country.

    It's probably safest to land eastbound and depart westbound due to the shape of the land.
