Flying location:  FDR Park
Visitors are ALWAYS welcome
Unfortunately, FDR Park is closed to the public,  but guests are ALWAY welcome, so there are 2 ways that you can come to watch:
  • Park at the gate and walk in (1/2 mile)
  • Contact a member to meet you at the gate (phone numbers are on our sign near the Children's Zoo)
  • IF the gate happens to be open or unlocked, you can drive to the field.    HOWEVER, make certain there are TSM members at the field BEFORE entering to avoid getting locked inside!
