Lafayette Cloud Jockeys 2 — RC Flying Field Weather
Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Lafayette, IN, decoded from the nearest reporting station KLAF, 2.5 nm away — wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.
The club describes a asphalt flying surface. The site is an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA), where eligible members can fly without Remote ID broadcast equipment. Its FAA fixed-site agreement altitude is 200 ft AGL — an agreement value, not an airspace clearance. 12 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.

Better suited to sport and aerobatic models with some wing loading; not a day for trainers or light foamies.
