Bob Swenson Memorial Field | RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Silverado, CA, decoded from the nearest reporting station KAJO, 8.9 nm away: wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.
The club describes an asphalt flying surface. The runway orientation (10/28) is confirmed by the club and drives the live crosswind meter on this page. The site is an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA), where eligible members can fly without Remote ID broadcast equipment. 12 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.
Great flying weather
Light air suits every model, including park flyers, light foamies, and micro indoor-style aircraft outdoors.
Based on KAJO, 8.9 nm away. Measured at the airport, not the field.
⚠️ Weather shown is from the nearest full-scale reporting station, not measured at the field. Not for flight decisions: assess wind and sky conditions on site and follow the AMA Safety Code and your club's field rules.
Runway winds & crosswind
Pre-filled with runway 10/28, confirmed by the club. Adjust it if you fly different numbers and we'll remember your change on this device.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | ~560 ft | Asphalt | - | - |
| 28 | ~560 ft | Asphalt | - | - |
Runway numbers are magnetic while reported winds are true north. Treat components as approximate for RC field use. This field's runway is club-verified, so the live crosswind meter above computes off the confirmed orientation.
