[ Site#2 ] BUILDING 70

Floyd Bennett Field is located on Flatbush Avenue at the foot of the Marine Parkway [GILL HODGES] Bridge in Brooklyn.   (Belt Parkway Exit 11 South) Entering the Field,  proceed past the guard shack. Make a left onto the first roadway past the main roadway (ex-runway). This will be near the big radio tower. Make the first right turn (past the Police parking lot) Building 70 is the next building right behind it about 80ft further on the road. You will shortly see a building to your left. That is known as "Ecology Village". Make a left into the Ecology Village entrance. Upon entering, from the lot,   there is a doorway leading to a basketball court. Our meetings will be held in the first large room on the right of that door.

[ Site #3 ] BUILDING 272
The Ebonaire radio club is currently using this location the same day as we are so it is no longer available as a second choice in case our primary location is not available. Continue slowly down the main road taking the road straight in about 2/5ths of a mile.   Building 272 is located right at the point were the road begins a gentle left turn. You will see a parking lot and a building with a large-glass paneled enclosure. Meetings will be held in that room.

  being refueled with F.B.F. in plain view!
