White
Pines Golf Dome
Through special arrangement, we are able to fly after
hours in the
Midwest
’s largest golf dome. This dome
is 300ft x 300ft and 100ft high. It’s
great for small electric planes ranging from tiny sub-one-ounce models up to
light park flyers. The dome is
available form November to April for late night flights (normally Thursday and
Saturdays form 11:00 pm to 1:00 am). Check
the home page and newsletters for specific dates.
