People here have made Bridge Day a Big Event every October here That event is centered on Base Jumping Off the New River Gorge Bridge I call it CRAZZZZYYYYYY.............  www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RVGWeCmsQ8They have trails, overlooks and you can even repel from the bridge and they have a tour on a cat walk under the bridge. A few miles away from me, not something I care for, but thought I would show what folks ( Crazies ) do for kicks .  |

Than you will love this article that they posted today about this area Maybe someone here got tired of the FAA trying to take away RC Flight and bought in some "Outsiders" to sway them about flying laws ? www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2268279#post29724989Either that or these guys had a really big Jug of Moonshine that evening ..... something else very famous around these parts. But seriously, there has been allot of military planes/jets in this area this year. there are no bases I know of near here. Have seen planes and jets not associated with land operations, a Hawkeye for example circled here for over an hour one day ( that is a Navy radar plane ) Also have seen many aircraft i could not identify , so who knows what's really going on ? Only uncle Sam ( government) enjoy the read. |

We've had friends got to bridge day for years when we were still skydiving.
Never had the "urge" to go ourselves.

I watched the video and I know for a fact that 2 people died in those videos.
I thought RC plane flying was dangerous...
