Arrangements and permissions had been in place for some time. All I`m saying is that if you really want to fly there is nothing stopping you. If the flying field that I belong to gets shut down, than yes, I and they who also belong get hurt. But it doesn't have to be permanent. Some who have been in it for a long time may decide to give it up. Others like me will keep an eye open to find another place to fly.

Read the FAA notice carefully from 17 May 2019

It clearly has a list of APPROVED fields in an Excel Spreadsheet that is not a complete list of all fields in controlled airspace

Fields in Maryland, Montana and other states (California) have been affected, it is clearly an incomplete list
