Out of curiosity having lived in NC for 5 years, what waiver are you guys applying for? 20k range?
Since most of my projects in the last 10 years or so have been built for Black Rock, I was never able to do much flying when I lived in NC short of testing motors in super heavy rockets. But I was fortunate to live in the triangle area with access to the best kept secret in East Coast rocketry (Bayboro). Oburg was a cool place to visit just because of the history (and it was pretty cool to take a two lane all the way to a rocket launch), but pretty restrictive from a flying standpoint. It always drew an exponentially larger crowd than Bayboro simply due to the proximity to Charlotte/ATL. I've long felt that rocketry in the SE would bounce back from the loss of Whitakers and the Roth field in Florida if somebody got a 20-25k' waiver in that "central" area.
Exciting that you found a supposedly large new field, best of luck with the waiver.
Boon of living in Texas: 75k' waiver at "home" site
Drawback of living in Texas: 13 hour drive one way to "home" site
Enjoy guys.

Jim... you do have Butner like 20 min from you :rofl:
I have had 15 guesses today. I have had two correct guesses. Please do not post your guess here.
If you want to guess, send it by email. The two winners will get a prize TBD.
I have a game. Guess the waiver altitude the FAA will approve. Keep in mind, only the FAA knows at this stage. You can post an altitude here.
Ummm...you gave us a hint that narrowed it down to an area greater than 3000 square miles and two people guessed which field it is with no additional information? Either there must be some inside knowledge out there, or they should be playing the lottery...in which case they could just buy us a field!
Cheers,
Michael

Looks like the main field is a little less than a square mile.
