KHRJ reports an average of 84 aircraft movements a

Any higher or lower since then?

I have no idea. On weekends, not much power traffic
comes and goes. Maybe a couple or up to, oh, 10 movements?
Whomever comes up with the '84' movements a day is
an unknown person to me. Maybe they are averaging
in our glider movements? Even then, I know nobody
but the club is logging flights and we haven't been
asked to provide that info to the airport or the county.

Yes, the glider traffic is a fair chunk of that. Consider that the
takeoff counts
as one movement, and the landing of the towplane and glider each count
as another,
so those "really good" days with 20+ launches contribute 60+
"movements".


Oh yea! Bring us a 'HydroStart' from the Netherlands.
Don't know what the airport would think if our avgas
purchases for the towplane dropped to almost nothing...

Another issue with using a winch. At one time the club DID use
a winch, back when it operated at Wilson, NC. Ask Paul about
that sometime. I don't know how it was involved with the club
leaving Wilson.
