I fly about 5 min away at a middle school, or out in front of my house. Me and another guy usually meet up.

Thats true about this "era" of flying, and people being able to fly pretty much anywhere. The bad thing is that it takes longer to make connections and find people, b/c everyone isn't always at the field. It takes more time to meet people. You have to catch someone at the field, then they introduce you to another person etc. Not as many people fly helis here in po-dunk arkansas
