    area Ramitelli there were 3 different airports. This I believe is the smallest, but it is strange. There is much difference in level from the beginning to the end of the track (about 70 feet). Also the tracks had to be lunge at least 1300 yards, this does not exceed 900. With google street you can see a wind meter, Italians call it "Grandma's stocking"
