[edit] Trivia

On April 25, 1983, Thomas L. Knauff set an FAI world record flying a glider on an out-and-return course of 1646.68 km (1023 miles), releasing from tow over this airport, then flying along the Appalachian Mountains to Corryton, Tennessee, and returning for a landing 10 hours later. This world record stood for almost 20 years, and was only recenty broken in Argentina, but still stands as a U.S. national record.[1]
