Highland-Winet Airport (FAA LID: H07) is a public-use airport located 3 miles northeast of Highland, Illinois. The airport is privately owned by the St. Louis Soaring Association.[1][2][3][4][5]
Facilities and aircraft[edit]
The airport has one runway: runway 18/36 measures 2200 x 100 ft (671 x 30 m) and is made of turf. The airport does not have an fixed-base operator, and no fuel is available.[1][2][4][5][6]
For the 12-month period ending May 31, 2018, the airport has 38 aircraft operations per week, or just under 2,000 per year. It is all general aviation. There are 25 aircraft based on the field: 19 gliders and 6 single-engine airplanes.[1][2][5][7]
Accidents and incidents[edit]
- On September 10, 2003, a Burkhart Grob G102 Club Astir IIIB impacted terrain during an off-airport landing near Highland-Winet Airport. The glider was released from a tow plane at 3,000 feet, and the pilot reported the thermals he tried to fly in were weak, preventing the aircraft from maintaining altitude. The aircraft encountered a strong downdraft while returning to H07 and was unable to reach the airport.[8]
