BCRCF field is southeast of Columbus, Indiana.
 
From I-65 take the Route 46 East exit and follow that through Columbus until you reach 25th Street. Turn left on 25th street, go approximately one mile, the landfill and flying field will be on your right.

Also on this page we will display pictures of our flying field as it develops. 

This is the 4th year for our field and the 3rd for the runway. 

The field is in flying condition and continues to improve. The field has a total of 52 acres. It is an RC'ers dream site.

The pictures above show our facilities superimposed on satellite views of the field.  As you can see, the right one is a closer view.
The different colors represent areas of the field as follows:
Grey is the driveway.
Blue is the pit area.
Yellow is the flight line.
Red is the taxiway.
Green is the runway.
To put all of this in to perspective the runway is 75 feet wide X 500 feet long.
