Jim B. Yes - I am thinking in the midst of full scale aircraft parked along runways, etc. If they are 100 yards away (that's over 1/2 mile), and behind you, then no problem. The way the original post was written, he says there is full scale aircraft "all over the place". I took that to mean that he would be flying in the middle of it all. If so - then my statement is correct - it would be just plain stupid to do so. Maybe XS will tell us more about the actual layout.
Yer only off by a factor of nearly 9--1/2 mile is 880 yards...

The GSWAM club flew at the Carswell JRB airshow in Fort Worth this past weekend..Had to shut down when 5 FA-18's taxied past -- their wings sheltered the models momentarily...
Flight line was on taxiway, less than 500 yards from the Blue Angels, 100 yards from the 2 PT-17 Stearman Aircraft.
It just has to be done Right
