Heavenbound field is located about four miles north east of Johnstown, OH. Heavenbound field is registered as a private airfield, but may not appear on the chart.  The airstrip is 900' almost level sod, and runs directly East and West. It is in the middle of two crop fields giving it no obstacles at either end of the runway for a quarter of a mile. It is plenty for any Ultralight, as well as most Light Sport and many General Aviation aircraft. Click on chart images below to enlarge.

Challenger Flying LowEveryone is welcome to land here, but keep in mind that it is a private strip, and you will be landing at your own risk. I cannot guarantee the safety of the airstrip for obvious liability reasons. As pilot in command, you will have to make that call.

Hours of Operation: We have no set hours. I work full time, so everything is done by appointment evenings and weekends. Please call ahead. If you want to fly down, I can have gas for you if you let me know ahead of time. I will schedule flight instruction or just a plain visit, most evenings or anytime during the weekend except Sunday morning, we will be in church. Just let me know!

 40-11.628N  082-39.492W  (Click-enlarge printable image)Please see the link above to see it marked on the chart. As you can see, if you find Johnstown, and fly Northeast, about three miles, you will be right over me. There are high tension power lines about a half mile north of the field, if you are flying north and cross those, you went too far. Also you will see a huge chicken farm with many sites of green and white pole barns, ponds, irrigation circles, and a big feed mill with six grain bins. I am on the east side of their land. Probably the easiest way to find me is to go to the chicken farm feed mill which can be seen for 10-15 miles on a clear day, and fly south a little less than a mile, you will cross the power lines, then go east about a 1 1/2 miles, and you will fly right down the runway. Just stay about 1/2 mile south of the power lines and you can’t miss it. There is a site of chicken barns on the west end of the runway about 1/4 mile out.

 

If you look at the picture of the Challenger on the home page, it is sitting on the west end of the runway, looking north west. You can see the power lines behind the airplane, and if you look close you will see the feed mill on the tip of the right wing. It is a huge white concrete building with huge grain bins in a row behind it.
