Airparks; Living On The Beaten Path?
This got me thinking, a rudderless Ercoupe in a multi-directional wind
landing...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l2NJFrvYls Do you (I) really want a home that close to a GA landing strip? Yet I see megabuck homes in my neck of the woods http://www.visualtour.com/shownp.asp?prt=85&t=1217861 http://preview.tinyurl.com/39avgz Use satellite mode Am I missing something? Isn't this a bit off the safety charts? -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either!

I saw nothing remarkable beyond a bit of float and perhaps a tiny bit long. Do you (I) really want a home that close to a GA landing strip? Yet I see megabuck homes in my neck of the woods Yes, but most are way out of my price range. Vaughn

No, it wasn't. not by a long shot. Luscombe, Rearwin, T cart. All faster on the same horsepower. Bertie

Some have adequate width runways and taxiways. I have also landed at some that made me feel like I was attacking Darth Vader with an X-wing. I landed at one where I had about twenty feet clearance for my wingtips while descending into the canyon made by encroaching hangars and homes! I was NOT comfortable. I came there from another airpark with a 22 foot wide runway, where I felt perfectly comfortable, even in a brisk crosswind because they kept the homes and hangars well back from the runway.

I DO live on a residential airpark (We have about 600 planes) and it is GREAT! The most noise comes from the yard maintenance people. Today we had our annual Wings and Wheels event, with many formation flybys, including 2 P-51 Mustangs, 3 SX-300s and many others. See: eaa288.org http://www.sprucecreekowners.com/ http://www.scpoa.com/ http://fly-in.com/ It is the largest (and, IMHO the best) residential airpark in the world. We also have more based aircraft than any other airport in Florida. I moved here 9 years ago and am having a BLAST! -- Remove _'s from email address to talk to me.
