I've been flying for about a year and a half, and I'm having a ball....I just wish there was more interest in my area. There are only three of us flying at our "field", which is merely a small part of a farmer's field, that thankfully, he allowed us to use. There are three tables for the planes, but there isn't anything else...no shelters, etc. The field is less than perfect, with many dips and ruts, that make flying some of my planes all but impossible.We considered hiring someone to smooth down the runway, but we figured it waspointless, considering that the farmer's heavy equipment crossesthe runway every time they are in the field.Two of us started at about the same time, and the third fellow has been flying since the mid 60's, and has quite a few awards from various pattern meets. We have the occasional spectator come by, but we can't seem to get anyone to come "try the sticks". I goto the occasional fly-in, and am kinda jealous of you guys that are in a "real" club. I've considered joining the nearest club, but I really can't justify driving 40-50 miles, one way, to go fly for an evening. I've thought of putting an ad in the local paper, inviting folks out to come fly, but the "old timer" in our group doesn't think much of the idea. On the plus side, I live next door to a 5 acre field that the county keeps cut. That's where I fly my fomies....and I live within 1/4 mile from a large lake....yep, I've got 4 planes I can fly off the water. My point is, while I've got plenty of places to fly, and more planes than I know what to do with, it would really be nice if there were more pilots to fly with. Flying alone gets a tad boring, and probably isn't the smartest thing, safety-wise. Oh well, guess you can't have it all.
