* Schweiss Doors has a 1330 ft hay field next to the factory running north/south. The hayfield will be groomed and there will be a windsock on south end of the factory. Note: There is a 2700 ft runway at Hector MN (1D6), which is only 8 miles from the factory.

The Schweiss Aviat Fly-In is a collaboration between Schweiss Doors and Aviat Aircraft. Assuming there's interest, perhaps we can turn this into a cool yearly event!

Everyone is welcome. Hope you can join.
