Anyone know of a jet field in Dallas.

None in Dallas proper, but I fly at the North Dallas RC club field in Denton. 600' paved runway
http://www.ndrcc.com
And there are several guys that fly jets off of Benbrook's 400' runway.
I don't have a link for that club, but I'm sure one of them will chime in soon.

Once or twice a month the jet guys from all over Texas will meet at the HOTMAC field in Waco too.

heliboy

http://www.fwthunderbirds.org/ has the info you're looking for. great bunch of jet friendly folks there and the field is big enough for just about any jet.

good luck

Buck,

Not sure about Sunday, but I'm tempted to head down this evening to burn a few tanks. The L-39 is all charged up and ready to go.

*****, I paid $32+tax for 4.66 gals of Kerosone.[sm=confused.gif]

And still some people think we should have not gone to war!

What Jet do you have ? Just to set the record straight the Benbrook runway is 450" long, smooth and a reasonable width. Depending upon your skill and comfort level with your jet and what Jet you have this runaway is adequate. On the down side the Waters edge ( Lake Benbrook) can easily be reached if you should lose radio contact or orienation at the wrong spot, ( I;m sure you can guess how I know this)

Jets I've seen out there thus far include but are not limited to:

Boomer xl
baby boomer
f-15
F-16
Savex L39
top cat
kangaroo
Bobcat XL
composite bobcat
T33
BVM Viper
yellow A-4
Bandit
super bandit
bandit ARF
starfire DF

Buck,

I was asking Heliboy what Jet he has so we could advise him if we think the runway is enough. A couple others that have flown out there that I know of are F 106, F 86, Maverick, Mavwerick Pro and Jet Mach. Im sure we are still forgetting some.

yeahbaby

My Feedback: (21)

yup, I forgot about your F86 and didn't realize Ron had flown his 106 out there also.

not a bad mix of birds eh?

we'll be adding my Tam A-4 out there soon also.

cheers

I'm not flying anything at the moment. I'm new to the area (Been based out of DFW for about a year now). I sold all my rc jets about 2 years ago & am seriously itching to get something back in the air !!! Maybe a yellow F-18 single. But until I do, guess I'll have to settle for watching you guys have all the fun[]... I remember Buck, I think he gave me some pointers on streghthening my BV Rafale landing gear a few years back.

yeahbaby

My Feedback: (21)

Dude

give a shout when you get some free time or want to burn some Jet A locally. most of the local guys are headin' to Mt Pleasant this weekend if you want to take a drive. reference the other thread for info.

bummer you sold the Rafale but glad to hear you're itchin' to get back. this is a great place to get back into flying.
3 fields within an easy drive of DFW to get back into flying.

I can point you in the direction of a couple cheap and cheerful jets if you want to get back into it in a hurry.

cheers

Thanks Buck, will do. I just bought a place in Arlington so I'll be around for a while. I need to move in & get settled, then its jet time ! Im usually off 3-4 days a week, but not many weekends, & Im all ears for a cheep cheerful jet.

yeahbaby

My Feedback: (21)

Arlingtons right in the middle of all the jet fields. go west to Benbrook, go south to Waco, go north to NDRC. perfect.

I'll pm ya in a few with my digits.

good folks, flying and food. all we need is SoCal weather and I'd be happier than a puppy with 2 pekers.

Maannn Buck, I'm getting excited here.. Looks like I picked a good spot to be !..

My Feedback: (57)

Welcome to Fort Worth Jay. You'll have a really nice time I can tell.

Dude, were else are you going to have 4 jet fields within one hour or less. Waco to the South is by far the best, but it is about 1-1.25 hrs from South Arlington.

I guess I'll meet you later, I'm a local at FW Thunderbirds, come on by whenever.

Later,

David
