Site and XC resources
- Google Earth Landing Zones: Landing and no-landing zones near NCSC sites, including Blanchard and BJ. Several landowners do not want us landing on their property, so please familiarize yourself with these areas, and respect their wishes. If you have any issues with landowners beyond what is shown, then please notify the club so we can update the map.
- XC retrieval tips for the Skagit and Whatcom area, with bus connection options for self-retrieve
- Travel Sites: Information on popular flying sites beyond NCSC stomping grounds, from those within easy day trip distance (e.g. Fraser Valley, Ebey, Tiger), to those further afield. This is a shared doc, so please suggest changes or comment!
Weather

- Youtube Video: Weather basics by Jesse Williams: Covers valley winds in our area, recommended resources, and lays out a path towards becoming a weather expert.
Safety & live tracking
