Distance to Airport

Reminds me of my father. He loved golf, and we lived across the street from a
country club. He took a second job to pay his links fees. Then he never had
time to play.

You can dress a hog in a tuxedo, but he still wants to roll in the mud.

50 min. drive early Sat. morning or 1 hr 50 min. week days to go to my baby,
sitting out in the open, in a coastal airport, for 250$ a month. The pitts.

18 miles and about 20 minutes if traffic is reasonable and I hit the lights
right. Can be a bit longer if I'm unlucky. But I work at home, so it
balances out.

That's got to be one of the tougher situations. On the open ramp for
$250/month and a 50 to 110 minute drive? I guess I'll stop complaining
about my little 30 minute drive. My cost for tie-down is $45/month at a
pretty fancy FBO, so I'll not complain about that either.

I am surprised by how many people have a half hour or more trip to their
plane. A dedicated bunch we are.

I think I was at St. Augustine a couple of weeks ago and most of the Spruce
Creek gang up there for breakfast. I was wondering if there was an air show
planned until someone told me the real story. Too bad no one called ahead,
I think your gang pretty much overwhelmed the lady who was single handed in
running the restaurant!

and requires a half hour drive. That really makes a difference when
you
are working on the plane and remember you left something at home that is
needed for the current job.

This got me curious about the situation that others have. So, how about
it?
How far do you live from your plane and how long do you typically spend
driving to get there?

About 50 feet -- I used to live 50 mile from my plane in the People's
Republik of Kalifornia. That really got old!

We have a asaying that, if you've lived at Spruce Creek and die and go
to heaven, it is just a lateral trensfer.
