GA87 High Valley Airpark

In the foothills of the North Georgia mountains, surrounded by hiking trails, trout streams, breweries, and all manner of outdoor activities, is the Gateway to the Appalachians: the town of Suches. The mountains cleverly unveil many attractions, but few as scerene as GA87 - High Valley Airpark on the grounds of Kennedy Creek Resort.

The 2,000 ft 02/20 grass runway offers a smooth and inviting escape from the bustle of typical airports. Although the well-maintained grounds are welcoming to GA planes, bush planes and cubs are exceptionally well-suited for the grass runway and taxiways.

Located within a 30 minute flight from Atlanta, Tennessee and North Carolina, High Valley Airpark is a perfect location for pilots to get away and grab a meal at the tavern, or stay overnight at Kennedy Creek Resort.

GA87 also hosts regular fly-in events, where pilots from all over can come to meet and take part in aerial games and activities like bomb the bullseye.

The rolling green hills are host to farms and livestock, but are also home to wildlife such as white-tailed deer and black bears.

Come fly the sweet mountain air of the Appalachians at High Valley Airpark. As the locals say... Suches life!

Custom Weather Preset

This addon contains a custom weather preset designed specifically for GA87. This preset is automatically available when this addon is placed in your Community folder.

• GA87 - Suches Life: This weather preset adds a thin layer of broken, low-hanging clouds to the High Valley hills. Based on actual live weather in the area, the cloud layer adds a level of melancholy that is most stunning during Autumn sunrise flights. Rising above the mist, pilots will see mostly clear skies, and sparsely-populated fog in the valley.
