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 a asphalt flying surface. The runway orientation (10/28) was measured from public aerial imagery 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.
