Airparks; Living On The Beaten Path?
This got me thinking, a rudderless Ercoupe in a multi-directional wind
landing...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l2NJFrvYls Do you (I) really want a home that close to a GA landing strip? Yet I see megabuck homes in my neck of the woods http://www.visualtour.com/shownp.asp?prt=85&t=1217861 http://preview.tinyurl.com/39avgz Use satellite mode Am I missing something?

On a regular basis, I have cars zipping by not two carlengths from my bedroom, some of them faster than a landing Aircoupe. Not only that, I live at the dangerous end of a "T" intersection. If one car ran that stop sign... Anyhow, been 20 years now in this same house and no trouble. Vaughn |

Year 21 may be the year your luck runs out. I knew a guy that lived at the end of a sharp 90 degree turn, and someone fell asleep at the wheel, and the car ended up parked in his bedroom, pushing the bed up against the wall, with the ceiling collapsed on top of him. It took a long time to get him out, but all he ended up with was some scrapes and bruises. He was lucky that he had a sturdy bed, with a tall headboard. That fact held up part of the ceiling, and kept from crushing his head and chest. You might want to consider getting the authorities to put up a guardrail, or a very large stone to protect the house. Food for thought? -- Jim in NC |
