Man, I would GO for it if I were in your shoes.
An aviators' dream.

We find ourselves with the rare opportunity to purchase a home with a
property line just 60 feet from the centerline of a 2400 foot runway.

It's a beautiful home, with almost 2 acres of land. It's got everything
we
could want in a home, except for a hangar. (The hangar that comes with it
fits an ultralight...) We'd have to add a full-sized hangar.

As we were standing on the deck, facing the runway, watching the planes
come
and go, we started to wonder if the plane noise would eventually start to
grate on our nerves. If two people were ever made to live with their
plane, it's Mary and me -- but I thought it might be good to hear from
some
of you who have actually DONE it. Does the "music" of the engines turn
to
aggravation over time?

Can anyone fill in the gaps? What are the ups and downs of actually
living
at an airport?
