Ah, grasshopper, you need to consider Northern California or Southern Oregon
for your nirvana. Four full seasons, much rain, little snow, much summer sun, little winter chill below freezing. Jim My eyes just crave the intense green of spring in the Midwest, after a week in the desert. |

Or Hawaii.
I'd sure need some looooong-range tanks on our Pathfinder to be able to fly anywhere! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

You can fly around the island you are on. Every island has at least one
airport. Oahu, Maui and Hawaii have several. And you can fly from island to island. But once you do all that, there isn't much of anywhere else you can fly that is within range. Nothing at all for thousands of miles (well there is Midway, with one airport). My sister lives on Oahu and she has neither heat nor air conditioning in her house. It's a nice climate, and a lot of variety (desert, jungle, mountains and beaches), but there is NO PLACE TO GO. I get island fever. Also, aluminum corrodes something fierce over there. My sisters window frames all have white aluminum dust on the bottom tracks. It's scary to think what would happen to an aluminum plane in that environment. There are, however, some GA aircraft and at least three flight schools in the state. |
