Lake Afton RC Field | RC Flying Field Weather

Live conditions for this AMA model airfield in Goddard, KS, decoded from the nearest reporting station KICT, 10 nm away: wind, gusts, visibility, and an RC flyability read before you drive to the field.

The runway orientation (18/36) was measured from public aerial imagery and drives the live crosswind meter on this page. 12 other AMA fields sit within 50 miles.
