I am about an hour from Jacksonville here in Kinston NC and there are a lot of flying clubs here in eastern NC. Ive flown my Torus boomer from just about all the fields in the area. But some of those fields are not suited for any other other airframe type. We have a fairly new field (800 feet) here in Kinston that is being groomed very nicely and is a bit smoother and can handle other jet types. I fly my BD-5 and have flown my AD Scorpion off there with no concerns. Of course the boomer is a non issue. The NC Space Cowboys in Greenville NC (about an hour and 1/2 from Jacksonville ) has a 1500 ft very smooth runway but there is a treeline about 500ft away that parallels the strip for about 1/2 the length of the runway. Doesn't bother me but I grew up flying there.

Im not aware of any Concrete runways open for general flying. The guys at The Raleigh/Durham R/C club in Zebulon have a 300 ft asphalt strip and there are several turbine pilots in that area. I think there are some are enlisted fellows flying off the runways at New River Air Station right there in Jacksonville and at MCAS Cherry Point right down the road.

For the past 3 years on Memorial day weekend a very large and growing jet event called "First In Flight" has taken place at the county airport in Wilson NC. How does 5000 ft of concrete sound to ya?
This year the event fathers told me that flying would start on weds. and go through Sunday.

Give me a shout out when you get into the area.

take care

Mike

Steve
I don't know that for sure, I'm only repeating something I heard 3rd hand.
My PMs to you keep bouncing back, will you send me an email when you have the opportunity so I can update?

Thanks pal!.
