Default RE: Found a great place to fly...

That is a sweet find. One of our local clubs has been on the search for a flying field for a few years now. They were flying off a farm lane for a while. Then they hooked up with a Elks club or one of those type clubs that has a few hundred acres and a Rodeo grounds. They were flying off one of the parking lots. They had been on a month to month agrement so they did'nt want to do any improvements on the field. They got their wish for a long term lease, well sorta. It is going to cost them 2K a month after a year or two. Way out of line for a 30 maan club.. Enjoy your new find while you can.

Or club field is right next to a National Guard base and at times, they fly a lot of helicopters off the base. Every now and then we get one coming over low and fast. We use the old boating rule, the biggest boat has the right of way. We hit the deck when they come over.
