Distance to Airport
I have been thinking about the drive to the airport lately and how nice it
would be to live a little closer. I have a brother that is also a pilot and he lives about 4 miles from his plane. Mine is more like 25 road miles away 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? JimC

So, how about it? How far do you live from your plane and how long do you typically spend driving to get there? JimC Until a year ago, I lived 1/2 hour from the airport. Then I sold that house, and purchased another that is 10 minutes from work and the airport. Now a woman has come into the picture and I'm selling my neato new house and making an intermediate move into *her* house which is an hour from the airport. I think the "next" house, AKA the "compromise house" will be 40 minutes from the field. I may have to relocate the aircraft... KB

How far do you live from your plane and how long do you typically spend
driving to get there? JimC The airport with our plane is half way between me and work. Six miles to the airport and another six miles to work from the airport. It's a 15 minute drive either way.

2 miles to the airport from home. My work is on the airport as well.
Still though, I do the work on the plane at a different airport that's about a 10 minute flight away. It's where the tools are.... Wayne "JimC" wrote in message ...

Good to know I'm not the only one. An hour for me, also.
