Joe,
I DC, the closest field with some jet guys is probably DCRC in Germantown, MD.
http://www.dc-rc.org/
There are 4 or 5 jet guys in that club and they are active flyers...

In San Diego, there is only one field that is really suitable to turbines, and that is the Miramar RC Flyers club filed at MCAS Miramar. I'll be in Germany and the UK while you are here, but PM or Email me and I'll get you the name of another local jet flyer. You might also check in with John Weaver at Discount Hobby Warehouse.
About 45 minutes north is MCS Camp Pendlton, with an active contingent of jet flyers. The flying site is also on a military facility, so access is limited. Look up Afterburner (Dougie Fresh) or Joe McBride here, they might be able to help you.

I will be at the AUVSI conference also. It would be great to get to Miramar, or Pendlton. My buddy was CO of HMLA-775 in 05 and 06, but he is retired now, so I am sure i have to have someone get me on base.
Thanks all, I will try to get out to DCRC on Wednesday.
chzonio, and anyone else going to AUVSI, PM me and lets see if we can get out to see those jet guys!

Hey Chris, I'll be in AZ starting tonight, but I'm not going to AUVSI this year. Maybe I'll make the trip to SD one day this week and hook-up with you and the rest of the guys going. Let me know. You have my cell #, give me a call or send your #.
George
P.S. I know Todd is not going as well.

Anyone that want to get together at AUVSI can contact me at [email protected] # 817-223-0779. I think it will be interesting to get together and see what everyone does. This should be fun. Butch Sickels

thanks for that info. no car this trip to get to the DCRC, but i will be back here for the next meeting in June and also July.
Excellent idea at AUVSI for a lunch get together. That would be a good idea. and you guys can give me my intro jet education!
Is everyone renting a car to enable driving out to Miramar or Pendlton?
