Default Best place to live and fly?

("Maule Driver" wrote)
But the nicest place to live and fly is a Lake Ridge Aero Park - 8NC8 in
Durham NC. There's even a home on the runway for sale.... for no more
than a home anywhere else though it's a bit noisy.



Noisy because of the highway? Or the good kind of noisy? :-)

[For anyone, like me, who doesn't know this stuff, yet]

This was fun... I'm STILLLLL learning the Google Earth program on my
Desktop.

1. Google: AirNav + 8NC8
2. Click: Google (by the maps).
Yes, you can select "Satellite" but I prefer the full Google Earth program.

3. Copy: ...all numbers after [=]
[36.060145%2C-78.783339]

4. Open: Google Earth
5. Paste: [36.060145[%2C]-78.783339] into GE.
6. Clean up/Delete: %2C (...it took 3 trys to figure this out)

7. Hit Enter: 36.060145-78.783339
8. There it is.


1. AirNav + ANE
2. Maps - choose Google
3. Copy [45.145000%2C-93.211389]
4. Paste [45.145000%2C-93.211389] into GE.
5. Backspace-Delete %2C
6. Hit Enter: 45.145000-93.211389
7. There's Anoka County-Blaine Airport


1. Google: AirNav + KIOW
2. Click: Google in the Maps area
3 Copy back to [=]
4. Paste into Google Earth: [41.639244%2C-91.546503]
5. Delete: %2C
6. Hit Enter: 41.639244-91.546503
7. There's Iowa City Municipal Airport.

It's only 50x quicker than reading my walk-through. g
