How often do you get to land or take off from something other than a
paved runway?


Hardly ever. Insurance policies increasingly prohibit it.


My home field (7B3 Hampton NH) is grass, and I'm insured!

It's certainly true that most of the airports I can reach are paved,
but 2B2 Plum Island MA has a grass runway at an angle to the tarmac. I
choose it if I possibly can because it's in much better shape than the
asphalt.
