What percentage of landings happen off the airstrip? That % of landings could find you in someone's living room. I think houses off the approach and departure ends are a much worse idea.

Margy I agree, and might add that 110' from the centerline is pretty generous compared to some of the residential airparks that I have visited.

I don't know what that means but the facts are that beachfront property and oceanview property can be as much as 2-5x different in price. Typically, ocean view is never much more than the first or second tier of houses facing the beach on the waterside of the road. You get further away, either you are across the road (traffic) or you can't see the ocean. On an airstrip, you can be 100 meters or so and see it just fine. -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either!
