Walking the Strip After Rain

How a rural aero club reads the ground of its grass runway before the first flight

A research poster from the School of Underlying Conditions follows 63 morning walks down one rural aero club's grass runway over two winters, finding that the members' rich spoken vocabulary for wet ground reaches the club's strip book as two phrases, and that the cone marking the soft bottom end moves only after a walk by a member of long standing.
