The
Wrens Airport (65J) has a nice recently resurfaced 3000' runway. The 120'
x 700' tarmac has plenty of room for aircraft parking. It also has a 1000'
x 100' grass strip. Stop by sometime (usually on the weekends) and see
what is being built and flown there -- one Nieuport 11 is being built
and three ultralights/light planes are there (two Titans and a
Challenger I). There's also a Thorp T-18 and a completed Nieuport 11. Hanging
from the ceiling is a Super U10 glider (no longer airworthy, just for show).
In a small hangar next to the large one is a Hummelbird under construction. There are
two restrooms, a nice air-conditioned lounge, a lot of friendly people
and plenty of peanuts! You can look at the past Nieuport construction activity at the Wrens airport by clicking on Nieuport. Also, you can find information about the upcoming Wrens Fall Fly-in (the 2nd weekend of October) by clicking on Wrens Fall Fly-in
