Isn't this a bit off the safety charts? -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either! If that bothers you don't think of landing at some of our back country strips out here in the west. You would have a heart attack at most of them trying to thread the needle of trees, cliffs, creeks, stumps, critters, etc....... Ben www.haaspowerair.com N801BH |

Try Twin Oaks airport near San Antonio. http://www.fboweb.com/fb40/airport/T94.html It's not unsafe if you are careful. I hear there are still plenty of lots for sale at Zuehl too. |

I saw nothing remarkable beyond a bit of float and perhaps a tiny bit long. I missed making my point. It was the nearness of the houses (aircraft irregardless).

Why do you feel it is off the safety charts? I don't see any issue with safety beyond any neighborhood anywhere else. You are not missing anything but may be immagining thing that don't exist. What percentage of landings happen off the airstrip? That % of landings could find you in someone's living room. -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either! |

There are airparks and airparks. Some have adequate width runways and taxiways. I have also landed at some that made me feel like I was attacking Darth Vader with an X-wing. I landed at one where I had about twenty feet clearance for my wingtips while descending into the canyon made by encroaching hangars and homes! I was NOT comfortable. I came there from another airpark with a 22 foot wide runway, where I felt perfectly comfortable, even in a brisk crosswind because they kept the homes and hangars well back from the runway. Highflyer This is my point, not picking particular, well, I guess I am, on the Captiva folks but this looks awful slim widthwise. -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either! |

I DO live on a residential airpark (We have about 600 planes) and it is GREAT! The most noise comes from the yard maintenance people. Today we had our annual Wings and Wheels event, with many formation flybys, including 2 P-51 Mustangs, 3 SX-300s and many others. See: eaa288.org http://www.sprucecreekowners.com/ http://www.scpoa.com/ http://fly-in.com/ Very nice, this is a different airpark animal. Homes aren't sitting on the runway, nice tarmac, what's with the lake on approach? -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either! |
