Buttonwillow was my first time going to a track in Socal, it was a slightly longer flight than going to Thunderhill, but not a whole lot. I ended up flying to L62, which was the closest airport I could find, and was so unused that it was actually used for RC flying. I found out later that the track actually allows you to land on their drag strip, which saves the drive, good to know.
The sky was very smoky, made for some nice views and sunrise, but not great visibility:
Here's what the track looks like, including an extension that is being built:
By then the day was over and I flew home:
I'm not sure if I really love buttonwillow, but it was an interesting track to try nonetheless. Maybe I'll go back one day.
Landing at L62 interesting, there was no traffic there, but RC planes
