General Information

Blue Rock has been flown regularly site since early 2009. The site is unregulated but should be considered a P3 site due to strong imbedded thermic conditions especially during the summer months. There are also lots of rocks and sharp boulders hidden in the grass as well as other obstacles both on launch and in the landing zones.  P2 pilots should contact a local instructor for a site introduction and fly only when other pilots are present. 

Type of Flying

Blue Rock offers both ridge soaring and a thermal flying depending on the day and weather conditions. For beginning pilots the best days to fly are days with low thermic activity and a steady west wind between 9 and 12 miles per hour. More advanced pilots may attempt  cross country flights to the north on days with stronger thermic activity. 

Land

Blue Rock is located on Vallejo City Park land which has been set aside for public use. The land is frequented by hikers and mountain bikers.  It is also used by cattle which are often times found grazing both at the lower launches, at mid-launch and in the landing zones. If cattle are present please be respectful and give them plenty of space.  We have established a good relationship with the city and local community in Vallejo so please be respectful flying Blue Rock.
