Default RE: Impromtu flying fields

I'm a truck driver. I almost always keep a couple of electrics on the truck for when I have the chance to get in a flight. Have flown in parking lots, over corn fields, in an emty lot next door to a service center for cessna ag-wagons, etc. I stopped flying in parks after having to put one in to avoid hitting someone. walked across my landing path while making emergency landing. plane was damaged, was tring to glide in. I'm also lucky, my club field is less than 10 min from my house when I'm home. Have flown with those types that want to do what they want to do. Everyone at our field would land when they flew. They thought it was cause they were cool. We were just scared we would get hit. They finally left the club so they could do their thing. nobody missed them. There are rules in all aspects of life. Something we all gotta live with.
