I have an RV 6a and need to swing my compass. Is there a recently painted compass rose somewhere in North Texas?

Thanks

Yes there is.

The 99s painted a nice rose at Gainesville KGLE on the main ramp.

Certified Compass Rose at KGVT

There is a Certified Compass Rose at KGVT, its on the South East side of Rwy 35.

It is certifed in that it has been surveyed yearly for no magnetic anomolies and that the headings are correct.

Also a newly painted one at KTRL on the north end.

Compass Rose

I second the one at Gainesville (GLE). It was painted by the 99s on 10/31/2016. If you need a hand let me know when you are coming and I would be happy to help out. I work (fly) out of the GLE.
