Hopefully more diners and sandwich shops will show up as we settle for one local diner to gather in, after we fly. Even when people are inactive here due to age, they still show up to meet old friends and chat out of their SUV window. Good company is found at Palm Bay's non-sanctioned field especially with Rich Uravitch and Dave Platt being regulars for the last 30 years, no AMA or club dues, so there isn't a soul to complain about the noise level of a Rossi or other high rev engine, it's just that I'm the only guy doing it, and everyone else is a lipo battery charging hobbyist.
AMEN...!!
When I first moved to Washington from California [almost 40 years ago] I was amazed with all of the interest in model aviation.
Our clubs had several WWII, Korean War and Vietnam Vets, some Boeing employees and others who had connections with GA.
I would love to be able to fly at a nearby field like you describe where one can "LET ER RIP"..!!!
The 100 acre field you see in this video was once owned by a Korean War Pilot but has recently been converted to a RV Dealership and a Mental Hospital..
