I have not flown my Nexstar in months. I used to fly in a large cow pasture by the house but I can't anymore. I can't keep a strip mowed down and I'm tired of moving cow patties so I can have a place to land.
I was out riding my scoot today when I noticed a couple of RC planes flying around an old airport. I stopped to watch and they waved me over. I stayed around an hour or so watching them fly and meeting the guys flying. They said they fly there every weekend. It's a perfect place to fly...nice runway and all. They said not many planes come in there anymore. Mostly just crop dusters during certain months of the year. They told me to come out and fly anytime. One guy said that if they were not there, he lives beside the airport so just stop by and he would give me a key so I could go in and fly. What a find! It's about 15-20 miles from my house and I never knew about it. I'm ready to get back to flying!
