I'm a member of NVRC. The flying site is most convenient for me (I live in Reston). It's a quality field, but there are trees on all sides. There are no noise restrictions, so you see lots of big gassers there.

Someone mentioned earlier that development is closing in. I expect the filed to be closed in the next 12 to 24 months (even that could be optimistic). It's a shame, it's been there since the late '60s. Unfortunately, that's the reality all around the DC metro area. Suburban sprawl in overdrive. That leaves sanctioned fileds in Loudon, Frederick and Faquier Counties. All of these are a real haul for me.
