In the two years I have flown at that site I have seen flight scores zeroed for guys wandering into the no fly zone twice. Note that is twice in two years that cover thousands of flights that occurred while I was on site. The notion that overflights are happening rampant at every club field across the country is hardly believable. Simply no supporting data.
I was looking for a little more information about that site. I used AMA club finder to search for sites within 25 miles of "St. Paul" Oregon (listed address for the St. Paul Rodeo - shown in photo - is Malo Ave St. Paul OR), and nothing came up within five miles. I checked the ones outside that, and don't find any with locations corresponding to the photo.
Might you be willing to share the name of this AMA club?
