Hi
Sunfish et al,
I have less experience that you Sunfish, but I have flown in and out of Mt. Beauty a few times in gliders and a 185. The only thing I think I can add to this thread is that if you planned to live at Mt. Beauty and commute you may find things a little difficult.
Mt. Beauty is a one way strip and effected by wx a lot of the time. As others have said, the Wang and ABX TAF would be of little use to you. Hang gliders generally don't operate close to the airport or the approach, the gliding club shares the strip though and there may be 6 or 7 gliders up on certain days. Finally, yes, the valley can get a little foggy at times.
It is a beautiful part of the world and a very livable place, but could be a hassle if you need to get in and out reliably.
Good luck.
ABX
