WHERE
The EAA Chapter 1112
Pancake Breakfast is served at the Oroville Foundation of Flight
(OFOF) Hut on the northwest corner of the Oroville (California)
Municipal Airport (OVE). Fly in Guests can enter the OFOF taxiway off
of taxiway "J12" on the SW
side of runway 12-30. Look for the large white quonset-like structure.
Drive-in Guests can enter via Wes Barrett Lane (off of SR162), the
access
road for the Table Mountain Golf Course as well as OFOF. Look for the
grassy
glen, three flagpoles at the Donor's Wall and large parking lot on the
left
as you drive in about a 1/4 mi.
The taxiway is now semi-paved with
decomposed
granite to provide a firm, all-weather (except in very rainy periods)
base
and is propeller friendly and dust limiting. This project was completed
by OFOF in the Fall of 2002. We have also built and use a
water wagon to dampen the taxiway on hot/dry days to further reduce
dust/sand
pickup.
