Help With an Airfield in Monroe, NC
Hey Guys,
I'm looking for an airfield in Monroe, NC that is not listed on RCU. I know they exist. I live near Carowind's and belong to York County Flyers in York, SC. I love this club but since I had a stroke back in 2004 I am looking around to see what else is available to me. I build but don't fly. I enjoy watching other people. Please help me if you can.

Vicman,
I'm .9 miles south of Carowinds on Tryon Street, in Yorkhire. I know about Charlotte AeroModelers in Midland. I've been to their field, prior to my stroke, and ate their B-B-Q. You're right they are more remote than Monroe. They sure know how to cook though! Where is Valdese? I've never been there before.

About an hour an 20 min from you. I'll give you a ring one day and have lunch with you. My office is right on the corner behind the new Damon's

Tomcat, yes there is a field in Monroe. It's Poboy's Proptwisters Club and is located off Unionville-Indian Trail road near Poplin Road. I'll see if I can locate the website and shoot it to you. I'm sure there are directions along with other info/photos there.
Thanks,
Jim Tice

Jim,
Thanks for the heads-up. I couldn't find them on the AMA site but I knew they were there. Several years (5-8) my uncle and cousin flew there, then he went off to college. I live near Carowinds and currently fly at York County Flyers. I'm disabled now and like to watch my 17 year fly and other folks fly, may with I-485 this will be a little closer. I'll look at their website next. Thanks again!
