Sushi, yes SCCMAS has to be one of the most recognizable fields in the US. Brown hills 90% of the time. Like all fields it has its issues from time to time but overall I am glad to have it and it's only 20 min drive. It will be interesting to see how all this plays out. We have a continuing issue with a single full scale aircraft. It's contracted by the CHP and likes to overfly the flying site without warning at 500 ft. He comes from behind the tree line at low power so he is pretty much in our face before we know it. This has been happening for years. At one time he dispatched ground units and reported a near miss to the FAA. The worst part of all that was all our club members becoming a bunch of John Waynes and trying to dictate to everyone else how to fly. I showed up at the field once with an IMAC airplane and was told by another club member ( not club officer ) to " not even unload, we are not going to,let you fly that. All you big airplane guys and going to loose the field for us all". I fear that once the FAA releases new regulations there are going to be a buch of guys running around trying to enforce these regulations before the clubs can establish policies in a proper manner.
