About this field

Flying field of Butler Area Radio Flying Society (AMA club #538).

Gated, privately owned field with covered shelter, porta-pots, night flying (AMA club finder). Nearest FAA FRIA is Butler Aircraft Modelers Society #583, 4.6 mi away (different club). The BAMS website (thebams.net) notes it is not to be confused with 'the club located on Route 8 in Butler' (N Main St Ext is Route 8), suggesting this club still operates there.
