Something else to be aware of the winds, especially with the runway being so narrow. There is a windsock on the field, and Naval Air Station Lemoore, about 15 nm east, has the closest ATIS weather. \u201c\u2026It does get windy in the central valley every once in a while,\u201d said Ter- rill, noting that summertime highs can be well into the 90s. \u201cIt\u2019s very important to understand your airplane\u2019s and your own limits because if those winds get up to 15 or 20 knots, they can push you off of the centerline pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<p>The margin for error becomes that much smaller.\u201d Something else to pay attention to is fuel. The airport advertises that there is a 100LL self-service station, but reports in the past have noted its availability has sometimes been sporadic. Calling ahead can confirm its functionality, as well as the current wait time at the restaurant. Bend, Oregon, is a popular year-round destination, and a focal point of its four-season outdoor recreation is Sun- river Resort.<\/p>\n<p>This is a common base used by skiers and snowboarders, with nearby Mount Bachelor being a popular winter sports site, and is the sixth-larg- est ski resort in North America. As far as summer activities go, popular options vary from tennis to golf to star- gazing at the largest public observatory in the country. There are a multitude of lodging options from which to choose. Sunriver Airport (S21) is a privately owned, public-use facility that has a sole 5,460-by-75 runway.<\/p>\n<p>It is a quick shuttle ride from the resort and provides a way that many out-of-state visitors and part- time homeowners reach Sunriver. The airport sits at an elevation of 4,164 feet msl, and various moun- tain peaks can be seen in the distance.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>With advanced comfort features, sleek, lightweight design, excellent ANR performance and voice transmission quality, and a price thats below other premium ANR headsets, the DC ONE-X is the best built, best value ANR headset in its class.
