Sometimes clubs lose fields for no fault of their own. That doesn't preclude someone else from using the same site in future if circumstances change.
- Request the FAA to accept FRIAs as a permanent part of the airspace system. UAS being safely operated within the confines of a FRIA are not being operated elsewhere, where they might conflict with other unmanned traffic. Keeping FRIAs open for as long as possible benefits both recreational UAS users and the FAA.

As long as all of the conditions set out in your above post I've quoted are met , along with a side order of "operating under the guidelines" not meaning "being a forced member" of a community based organization , sure I have no problem with the FRIAs on either private or public land . If those FRIAs set up on private land want an AMA only restriction , or Hell even a silver airplane only restriction I have no problem with that ; Private land = their right to set whatever rules suits their fancy . But on public lands ? Sure there should also be FRIAs , open to all who abide by a universally accepted FAA programmed set of rules , and not bound by force to join any private organization to have access to the public land .
See , not everyone out here is out to be contrary , you say something I agree with I'll agree with you , Franklin says something I agree with I'll agree with him .......
