To continue the story--She now wants to live on a runway-build a new house and hander--it sure is fun looking in Florida for runway lots flying around in a 360 at 200 plus knots--then another plane--I forgot the 55 T-bird for her on our 42 wedding aniversity--that was for the Chelton screens--everything in life is a compromise. Do you think that I am opposed to runway living--hell no!!

Hi Paul,
Once you are living on an airpark, you'd rather give up indoor plumbing than to give up your runway! Florida is a great place to be looking. There are lots of choices. We have a vacation place at Kittyhawk Airpark (FL09) in Live Oak, Florida. Our main house is at Dogwood Airpark (VA42) in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Airpark living is great! You'll like it. Many of the airparks have grass runways. Most Lancair pilots avoid grass strips. We don't. We've been operating our 320 out of grass for 1300 hours, never had a problem. We intend to operate our IV out of grass also. You do need to utilize soft field techniques. Contact us if you'd like to discuss our procedures.
The only thing better than a wife who will fly with you, is having a wife who you can fly with. Sue is a retired 777 captain and does a superb job flying our Lancair. We've flown everywhere together in our 320, Mexico (4 times), Bahamas, Central America, Greenland, Iceland, England, Germany... even Cleveland! We're looking forward to flying the IV around the world together.
Give us a shout if we can help with any information on residential airports.
