The USAFA Model Engineering Club flying field is a 4000 foot runway used part of the time for motor-glider approaches to teach student glider pilots. Most of the time it is unused and available for the cadets and officers in the club to fly. Is is also used for UAV and RC engineering projects as part of the academics.
The field at Wright-Paterson AFB is an unused full size runway that is used a few times a year to fly aircraft in to the Air Force Museum. The rest of the year it is open for members of RAMS (Radio Aircraft Modelers Society), the Wright-Patterson AFB remote control club.
If you are going to visit Las Vegas and want to fly while there, take a
look at the four main fields around town.
We no longer live in Las Vegas, but it is a great place to visit and fly. All four fields
are open to the public.

I was visiting Charleston, and drove by the club field with a few planes in my car. I stopped at the field, and the club president happened to be there. When I told him I had my AMA, he very nicely let me fly as a guest.
