Motorman thanks for help. The Middlesex Modellers Montain I've found but Gifford Field Bridgeton I don't find. The coordinates are pointing to Middlesex Modellers. Could you please resend the coordinates?

Thanks a lot!

One minor nitpick - the location you show for the Chicagoland Circle Cutters (Illinois)
is actually located on the adjacent RC flying field of the Chicagoland RC Modelers Inc.


The proper location is 42.046747, -88.019806 which is the center of circle #1

What a great map.  The Huntsville Alabama location is spot on.  We have two paved circles at Milton Frank Stadium. We fly on a non-interference basis with stadium activity.  If possible Could you add the following:

Would show the TOPClass field, but they are losing it to a water park.  Good ole politicians worried more about money for their pockets.

If too political you have my permission to delete Mr. Administrator.
