... AMA sez we aren't supposed to fly within 3 miles of an airport (I think) so it may be too close....
Not true, it's an FAA guideline not an AMA rule, and the actual FAA guideline is that you have to have permission from the airport and you have to stay under 400 FT AGL.
My field is actually ON the county airport, and was paved by the county.
