Hunt AAF is a satellite field within the Army's helicopter training complex at Fort Rucker -- nicely aged, well-maintained airfield concrete, absolutely flat. The course takes up the entire ramp area and most of the center runway -- the regions in Alabama seem to favor long courses.

Skelly Stagefield - 194 acres - Major Thomas M. Skelly died in Germany on 11 March 1945 from wounds received in a plane crash in combat.
