Central Florida airfield ....

Sheets Airfield (FA42) in Groveland Florida has been the home of Quest Air hang gliding for the last 20+ years but was privately owned. The owner has been actively trying to sell the property with no success until this week.

A trio of individuals whom want to ensure soaring continue at Sheets have purchased the airport and surrounding land, some details here http://ozreport.com/1506090090

Sheets airport is 10 miles north of Seminole Lake gliderport and is a good bailout for gliders if unable to get back to Seminole.

With Quest Air to the north and Wallaby Ranch to the SE of Seminole, glider pilots are frequently sharing thermals with hang glider pilots. Many of us started flying hang gliders before moving to gliders.

Great to see central Florida with so much soaring activity. There will be two HG competitions at Quest and three glider contests at Seminole this spring. Not bad for a state with it's highest point at 345 feet above sea level.
