I figured I might as well kick off the new regional section with a post. A request was placed in the Ask Chad section for a way to reach out to fellow FT viewers by region, so here it is.
I'm in the Florida Panhandle in the quaint town of Santa Rosa Beach. There's not much close by for club fields but there's several places you can fly if you don't need a lot of space.
The closest sanctioned fields are (off the top if my head…)
1) Eglin Aero Modelers at an old bomber runway on Eglin Air Force Base just north of Niceville, FL.
2) Defuniak Springs, FL just a few miles north of town (hwy 90), west off of 331 North.
3) Panama City, FL. I'm not sure exactly where this one is, if I recall correctly it's off from 231, behind a ball field.
4) There's a scattering of flying fields associated with a club out of Pensacola.
