So you CAN go alone or take your friends, as long as you don't charge them or receive a reward, and land in all the fields you want without prior permission from the 'commission. Of course you would want to approve it with the land owner first. Rich asked for a definition of "approved". That's what Gig provided. The section he quoted does prohibit commercial operations, but no claim has been made that that's the entire law in New Jersey. Perhaps "zatatime" can provide a reference to the statute that prohibits other operations? George Patterson The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise. |

This is snipped from what was posted and seems to me to cover the issue. No aircraft or airman shall utilize, land, or take off from any area of land or water, unless that area is licensed for such activity, or found and declared by the commissioner to be vital or necessary for avigation purposes. If this does not cover the issue, I'll try to find time to call the State DOT for clarification of what statute applies. I only know from practical knowledge that it is not allowed. HTH. z |

Not too sure about that. I did miss the "government" comment preceeding my snip. No promises, but I'll try to follow up to get the reg #. z |

![]() Several years ago, when I lived in the north end of San Bernardino, California, my father-in-law used to land on a concrete slab left over from a WWII Army supply depot. It was about a mile and a half from the house, just of the east side of Interstate-15 We had scoped the place out, cleared some brush, and sunk some anchors for tie downs. He lived and flew in Alaska and the plane was a C-170B with big flaps and huge mains. Pop would fly over the house and rack the throttle a couple times to get my attention, then head for the patch. By the time I got there he'd be tieing the plane down. One late evening, right at twilight, we went through the drill. I helped him finish up the tie-downs and just as we started to unload... Headlights, spotlights, and cops -- sheriff, Highway patrol, city cops, and we found out in a few minutes the FBI and DEA -- appeared from every direction! Fortunately, none of them unholstered their pistols but a few had shotguns pointed in the air. One guy, turned out to be DEA, asked Pop if they could look in the airplane. I almost wet myself when the old man answered, "Not unless you tell me what you think you're looking for." After about ten minutes of hassling back and forth... Pop was a hard-core conservative, if you haven't figured that out yet... he opened the door and let them inspect his cargo. He was even polite enough to warn them that his 30.06 and 44Mag were hot loaded, as was his Armalite folded rifle that was wrapped up in his parka. He was actually bluffing about that. He never carried the guns loaded in the airplane. Somebody in the neighborhood alerted the cops. Surely we had to be smuggling something. Especially when the busybody watched us carry all the gear out of the airplane and stuff it into the Wagoneer. Especially when they saw the .06 in the open. Then, came my turn. The DEA guy walked over to me and asked if he could look into the Jeep. I could see the old man grinning at me over the agent's shoulder. With a mouth full of cotton and pucker-factor creeping over the nine mark, I managed to croak, "Not unless you tell me what you think you're looking for." Every cop within hearing distance burst out laughing, including the DEA agent. He shook his head and walked away. The old concrete slab is long gone. A housing development went in there. I moved away. The old man and N2310D disappeared into the mountains somewhere between Anchorage and North Way. Every time I drive into San Berdoo I remember that night. |

You're lucky you didn't end up like Frank Critzer at Giant Rock. Rumor is that the San Bernardino or Riverside police lobbed a tear gas canister into his home and set off the dynamite he had stored there. http://www.integratron.com/2History/History.html http://www.lucernevalley.net/giantrock/ http://www.labyrinthina.com/rock.htm |
