  "connection_tips": "Browns Airport (EPG) is a specialized and exceptionally rustic aviation facility located in Cass County, Nebraska, just two miles east of the town center of Weeping Water. For travelers and pilots, the most critical connection tip is understanding that EPG is a privately owned, public-use turf strip primarily dedicated to the sport of skydiving. It famously serves as the home base for the Lincoln Sport Parachute Club, which means the airfield is a high-activity zone for jump planes and frequent canopy landings throughout the day. Visiting pilots must maintain extreme situational awareness and strictly coordinate their arrivals via the local frequency to ensure safe separation from parachutists.\n\nThe airfield provides two intersecting grass runways, with the primary 17/35 strip measuring 2,200 feet; these surfaces are well-maintained but strictly for light aircraft and specialized sport aviation. It is essential to note that the airport is entirely unattended and lacks a control tower, on-site fueling services, or any public passenger amenities like retail or dining. Ground transportation is limited, as there are no on-demand ride-share services or taxis permanently stationed at the field, making pre-arranged private vehicle pickups absolutely necessary.\n\nFor those visiting commercially, the nearest major hubs are Omaha Eppley Airfield (OMA) or Lincoln Airport (LNK), both about a 45-to-60-minute drive away. Passengers arriving for skydiving events should be prepared for a highly self-sufficient experience and should source all supplies in Weeping Water or Lincoln before arrival. Always confirm the current parachuting activity status and local field conditions before planning any flight to this unique Nebraska sport-aviation node.",

  "terminal_info": "Browns Airport (EPG), also known by its ICAO code NE69, is a unique privately owned, public-use aviation facility serving the community of Weeping Water and the broader Cass County region in Nebraska. Situated just two miles east of the town center, the airport acts as a critical hub for recreational aviation and specialized aerial sports. Its location in the rolling hills of eastern Nebraska provides a scenic and welcoming environment for private pilots navigating the corridor between Omaha and Lincoln.\n\nThe airport is distinguished by its primary role as the home of the Lincoln Sport Parachute Club, which also owns and manages the facility. Because of this specialized focus, the airfield is a high-activity zone for skydiving operations, featuring frequent departures of jump planes and numerous canopy landings throughout the day. The infrastructure is specifically configured to support this community, offering basic but essential facilities including restrooms, a small air-conditioned waiting area, and a secure parking apron with tiedowns for transient aircraft.\n\nAirfield infrastructure at EPG is minimalist and reflects its status as a rural turf strip. The airfield maintains two intersecting grass runways: the primary 17/35 runway, which measures 2,200 feet in length, and a shorter 1,200-foot crosswind runway (11/29). These turf surfaces are maintained in fair condition to support light aircraft and specialized sport aviation. As an unattended facility, the airport does not feature a control tower or on-site fueling services, requiring pilots to be highly self-sufficient and well-versed in grass-strip operations.\n\nOperating at Browns Airport requires a high degree of situational awareness due to the constant parachuting activity. Visiting pilots are strongly advised to monitor the local frequency and coordinate with the parachute club to ensure safe separation from jumpers. While there is no on-site weather reporting, pilots can utilize AWOS data from nearby regional airports to gauge local conditions. Ground transportation is limited, so visitors should pre-arrange rides to Weeping Water or coordinate with local club members. Despite its modest scale, EPG remains a vibrant and essential center for Nebraska's sport aviation community.",
