Weaverville is a picturesque historical gold rush town nestled at the base of the majestic Trinity Alps. Just 16 nautical miles northeast of Hayfork Airport, Weaverville's charm is captured beautifully by Orbx Indie developer, The Attic Flyer Studio, in this delightful visual feast.
Weaverville Airport is a unique gem featuring an uphill runway and two usable hangars that are controlled by your plane's lights. But the adventure doesn't stop there.
To the west of Weaverville Airport, you'll discover a small bush strip, a helipad, and an exhilarating 4x4 off-road area complete with a makeshift racetrack—perfect for those who crave a bit of wilderness excitement.
Venture further west, and you'll encounter the Weaver Bally Lookout, home to a thrilling 11° uphill runway. This challenging airstrip will test your STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) skills and require a capable STOL aircraft for a successful landing. The breathtaking scenery and the adrenaline rush of mastering this strip make it a must-visit.
For a more tranquil flight, head 22 nautical miles north of Weaverville Airport to the serene Summerville airstrip. This less daunting bush strip is surrounded by towering trees and nestled deep in a valley of the Trinity Alps. While it does feature a hangar, pilots should approach with caution as the structure is somewhat precarious.
Whether you're a bush flying enthusiast or simply looking to explore stunning landscapes, Weaverville and its surrounding airstrips offer a unique and captivating flying experience that combines history, adventure, and natural beauty.
