In Canada,folks fly from farmer's fields all the time. Around my local
airport, there are at least 7 such small strips.

This is one of the reasons that I chose the Europa mono-wheel. If the local
airport goes under and I do not wish to pay landing fees at the larger
international airport, I have a large choice of fields to fly from.

Cheers,
Pete

To venture even further into speculation territory, I always thought that
some homebuilt pilots in places like the US actually take off and land on
their own land, but I guess that's only possible with fairly remote farms?

To add yet more speculation, I guess that in Europe that kind of thing is
a
no go?
