Grabber Green - Our Airfield (864ft asl)

Our airfield, located south of Portage la Prairie is easily accessible with a 10 minute drive from Portage la Prairie Manitoba. It's a 40 acre grass plot primarily used by the 3 Canada Forces Flying Training School and Allied Wings (base located 7 km away) for helicopter training. Totally surrounded by farmland and no overhead wires to give you another thing not to think about when your trying an inverted fly by.

We have access to the field during the week after 6pm and all day on weekends. The field is kept in top notch working order due to it's commercial needs, this keeps our club in situation were we can concentrate on flying rather than the normal field upkeep duties. All of this is made possible by Allied Wings [Canadian Wings Aviation Training Centre] over the years they have always graciously donated their field to our club for use during their off times.

This field has been called one of the best RC fields in Canada and is the most important resource that our club has to offer and all this is possible through a donation from a corporate sponsor, Allied Wings - Canadian Wings Aviation Training Centre.
