Really have been thinking on and off about this for a couple of years and I think I'm ready to start this just wanted to say hello to all and that I will probably become a pest with all my questions.
Where, Bellville? Old town? Winnabow? I have friends that live in Willmington NC. It is a beautiful area.
NC is part of the very active SAS http://www.southeastattacksquadron.org/ I myself am 30 miles South of Charlotte (thus in SC, not the Atlantic Ocean)
Greer (Greenville) SC, here. Oakboro NC has a great battle pond we used a bunch of times and for NATS a few times as well. You're in a fairly good spot considering this is such a widely spread out hobby.
That's a really great area, been thru there several times going from Charleston to Wilmington, been to a lot of beaches thru there! LOL Back in the Day..... Welcome to the hobby and hope to see you on the water. Craig
