Hi Mike,
 
       I have flown there many times, the last time was 3 years ago.  It is a nice place to fly in especially for heavy gliders but the air is typically very turbulent.   Only once was the air calm and very nice.   Most of the times I was there blowers would go on and off.  When I asked if the blowers could be shut off I have been told no they can not.  If I recall originally the build was designed to have an inflatable roof.  Some years later the building was redesign with a self supporting roof.
 
Cheers,
 
Kurt

Anyone ever tried to fly indoor here?

Something like a 160' ceiling, with no fans or blowers.

Regards.
