Distance to Airport

There's an airport here in town (JYG) and one in the town I now work
in(FRM), but neither are where my plane is. My plane is about 30 miles north
(Y58) and I work 30 miles to the south so it takes over an hour to get from
work to the plane. :-(

I'd like to find a place to live and hangar space in the town that I
work....

This got me curious about the situation that others have. So, how about
it?
How far do you live from your plane and how long do you typically spend
driving to get there?

Two townhouse blocks to the stop sign. Turn right

5 blocks, past the playground and skating rink, to the 4-way. Go straight
1/2 mile long winding road out to the highway.
Wait at light ....and wait ...and wait.

Cross the highway, past post office - go less than a mile.
Enter the North Gate.

If I enter by the tower, then drive down to the south end - add another
mile.

No plane (yet) but I still end up over there a lot. ANE Anoka-Blaine, MN.

3 miles, 5 minutes. Yep, I make the trip back and forth lots of times when
the tool I need is at the other end. But 10 minutes round trip is OK. No
complaints.

5 minutes. I thought I wanted a home close to work, but ended up living
close to the plane. I'm very happy.

Happy Flying!

Home, work, airport is an equilateral triangle, about 20 minutes per side.

8 miles by air, 12 miles by road. 20 minutes.

Because I fly, I envy no one.



I have been thinking about the drive to the airport lately and how nice it
would be to live a little closer. I have a brother that is also a pilot and
he lives about 4 miles from his plane. Mine is more like 25 road miles away
and requires a half hour drive. That really makes a difference when you
are working on the plane and remember you left something at home that is
needed for the current job.

About 50 feet -- I used to live 50 mile from my plane in the People's
Republik of Kalifornia. That really got old!

We have a asaying that, if you've lived at Spruce Creek and die and go
to heaven, it is just a lateral trensfer.

I think I was at St. Augustine a couple of weeks ago and most of the Spruce
Creek gang up there for breakfast. I was wondering if there was an air show
planned until someone told me the real story. Too bad no one called ahead,
I think your gang pretty much overwhelmed the lady who was single handed in
running the restaurant!

Actually, we DID call ahead, but they didn't adjust. We do have quite a
collection of aircraft on Saturday mornings for breakfast!

Another haunt is TICO (TIX).
