Default RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)

Sonny,

It is on USAF property and was established in the '50s. It used to be just a dirt runway then we pushed the scraped off topsoil from years past back onto the dirt surface, we planted grass (which some said would never grow there again lol). Then we added the paved runway and years of hard work on keeping the grass growing and top soil building, we have it to where it is now. We have a great group of members that maintain it well. The only thing around is a golf course and a skeet shooting range. Other than that, its wide open. We allow camping on site (no water or electricity unless you bring a generator). Last several years there have been many that come in RV's and just make a vacation out of it.

You can check out some of the videos and pictures on our website of our many different flying events we have every year.

So open invitation stands for everyone to come and enjoy.

We have trained master chef's (in outdoor gilling) that provide one of the best concession stands in the south. You never know what will be on the menu. From the finest burgers, BBQ or the ocasional road kill :P

Its always a great time to be had. Ill even have my spit ready for it this year lol.

BTW, welcome aboard all you new guys
