  • Ideal speed3–12 mph
  • Upper limits≤ 15 mph base · gusts ≤ 18

Bloyer Field (Y72) is a city-owned public-use AIRPORT in Tomah, WI (elev ~966 ft MSL, ~3,900 ft N-S runway), not a ridge/foot-launch hill. Listed in free-flight databases (paraglidingEarth, siteguide.app "Tomah" ~292 m) but treated as a FLATLAND / TOW site (winch or aerotow), consistent with the broad N,NE,E,W,NW orientation hint that excludes only the southern octants. No club/USHPA guide with explicit wind numbers was found, so direction and speed values are INFERRED. For a flat tow field, wind direction is far less critical than for a ridge launch; pilots simply tow into whatever steady wind is blowing, so the workable arc is broad. Practical guidance: light, steady, laminar wind is best (calm to ~10-12 mph); avoid gusty/thermic midday conditions and the typical Upper-Midwest summer SW/S flow that can be stronger and rougher. Best windows are early morning and evening (smooth air, less thermal/convective gust). As an active airport, AIRSPACE AND COORDINATION WITH AIRPORT/GA TRAFFIC is the main hazard/access concern — fly only with permission and proper towing setup/credentials. Treat all values as rough estimates; verify with Raven Sky Sports / local Wisconsin free-flight pilots before flying.
