We invite visiting pilots to fly SPP managed sites, twice a year, free of charge, without requiring them to join the club. Visiting pilots must be current members of USHPA and a USHPA sanctioned club, or for non-US based pilots, have a valid IPPI card and temporary USHPA membership (required for insurance). You must be accompanied by a member, have signed and submitted a SPP waiver, familiarize yourself with, and conform to, all site guidelines and rules.

This is PG/HG site. Launch for PG is about 200m further from HG site. You may not fly here without signing a waiver! To fly Whitwell,TN site you must: 1. Must be a member of Southern Para Pilots or Tennessee Tree Toppers (see comments) To join see http://southernparapilots.org/ or http://www.tennesseetreeto... 2. Have signed the waiver. Tip: If you do not get up immediately, head to the LZ. Often there are thermals out front and lift may be found on the way out. At any rate, caution should always be exercised regarding glide to closest available LZ. Cross Country Tips There are lots of landing fields up and down the valley. On a northeast cross, head towards Jasper. Past Jasper is Alabama. The ridge ends after crossing I-24. Directly over the back is high risk area with very few fields for miles. Southeasterly is a fun time for flying to Dunlap or farther. If you have little XC experience this is a good site to fly the ridge. Be careful in the gaps, though. If you begin sinking out, try to land somewhere along Hwy 28 or Hwy 41 for the best chance of catching a ride. Landing field is Church's backyard. DO NOT LAND DURING SUNDAY MORNING SERVICES, 9:45 AM - 12:00 NOON CT. Land somewhere else within this interval. Because the LZ is a Church's back yard, please refrain from the use of alcoholic beverages, profanity, and other questionable activity. Exhibit respect for the landowners who choose to be so generously hospitable to us. Directions to launch zone from Dunlap City From the center of Dunlap, proceed south on Hwy 127/Hwy 28.
