Hi DragonEagle -
I live in Ridgecrest as well. The club on base is pretty good. A great bunch of people. If you can get on base it would be worth checking out. I also heard that some were flying off of Brown Road South of Hwy 395 South of town, althouth I have not talked to anyone there. Club membership on base is $50/Yr. AMA membership is a must of course. It is a great place to fly. If you should find another spot off base I would be interested also, so let me know. We should meet. WSL
