Billings Flying Mustangs - Grand Avenue — RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Billings, MT, decoded from KPOY, 55 nm away— the closest station reporting right now, because this field's usual station KBIL has no current report — wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.

The site is an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA), where eligible members can fly without Remote ID broadcast equipment. 3 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.

GOOD

Good flying weather

A manageable breeze for most sport models and trainers; very light foamies may get pushed around.

Based on KPOY, 55 nm away — measured at the airport, not the field; conditions at the field may differ. This field's usual station KBIL has no current report, so KPOY is the closest station reporting now.
