The airport is east of Colorado Springs, a couple
miles northeast of the town of Falcon on Highway 24.
From the north end of Colorado Springs go east on Woodmen Avenue to its end
at Highway 24 in the little town of Falcon, and turn left to the
airport, which will be on your right up a couple miles.
Or go east on
Platte Avenue/Highway 24 past Peterson Field, or east on Constitution Avenue,
and continue up Highway 24 through Falcon, as above.
Take the first entrance to the airport and follow the dirt road
and signs to the (closed) restaurant.
That is, from Hwy 24 turn
southeast onto Blue Gill Drive, then left on Mallard Drive, then
immediately left on Piper Lane.
We're next to the hangar south of the
restaurant in our operations trailer at the end of Piper Lane.
(Blue Gill Dr. is a loop; if you get the entrance that is closer (SW) to
Colorado Springs then Mallard will be up a ways and a right turn.)
Here's a Mapquest road map.

They are south of the hangar at the end of Piper Lane; follow the dirt road
that turns along the hangar down to the operations trailer.
Park on the west side of the row of tires next to the parked gliders.)
The airport runway runs north-south (15-33) between Piper Ln and Cessna Dr,
even though it is not depicted on the map.
