Fort Funston topic
Also known as
- Fort Funston Main Launch
Fort Funston is fun for both novice and advanced pilot alike. The prevaling westerlies provide consistent, smooth ridge lift throughout the spring, summer and fall. Usually lift tops out about 300ft above the ridge, but during shear conditions lift will often go up several thousand feet, providing stunning views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate, and the Marin Headlands. Advanced pilots with Westlake stickers can also fly to the Westlake cliffs on the south end of the ridge, which also allows flights up to about 1000ft MSL.
