BAM!!!! This is what this whole thread was about. Finding folks in your area. It this info was in profiles it makes it a little easier to find each other.

This is the way I found my flying buddies, one is at the other end of my road.

It is in your profile just no one uses it. It says where are you from. There is also a place for a signiture where you could add your flying club and local. If everyone would just use the tools available.

Born and raised a Okie, Bethany Ok to be exact (OKC suburb). Now living in Roseville MN (suburb of St. Paul). I fly on an abandoned softball field in a little-used park less than a mile from my house. Last time I was out a helicopter (fullsize) flew over and landed in the parking lot, really set up some turbulence!

Heading back to work July 5 at waterworld. My rebuilt apartment is right on the levee that broke. At least the sailboat is ready if we have to leave again. Love electric foamies and big electric 3d but still fly an Al Amerian Senior with a muffled Johnson in competition when I get the chance. Got an original Thunderbird with a K&B stallion muffled that flies well too. The shark(ST 45) and elliots p-40(a fox what else) round it out for me.
