Yeah, while flying the airplane and doing a nice shallow bank to come in for a landing, a 45' tree

I hear you. Every boater eventually has an encounter with a jumping
rock or two.

It must be difficult finding open spaces to fly in a densely populated
area like that.

Very! I know of three good flying sites, all under control of a club, requiring membership, flying
test, and from 30-45 miles away. But, they have a lot of space. I've joined one up north of
Rockville a bit. Another is in Prince George's county, about 35 miles away. Driving is cheaper than
crashing though.
