Maybe some civilian glider clubs should be looking into 'Avturfing'
their runway.
On the AvTurf site there are pictures of a Gen Av avturf runway at Calhan airport (5V4). Shows several types of aircraft using the strip, from Supercub/Huskies to Twin Otters, as well as a Blanik L23. Interestingly, it looks like an USAFA towplane and Blanik, along with USAF aircrews - so this appears to be an on-site evaluation of the avturf surface by the AF. Looks like they were doing their homework!
