The wife and I were semi-seriously looking for a new house a few weeks ago and we drove by the Lino airpark which is about 3 miles from my house. I had no idea it was even there. According to the FG airport data file it is MY18, 2365' long. It's a grass/turf strip with a row of houses on each side. Most of the houses have either a detached hanger, or a hanger built right onto the house opening up into the backyard/airstrip. I wouldn't be able to afford to live there, not that there was anything for sale there anyway, but yes, that would be awesome. :-) I'd definitely need to set aside the R/C stuff and start working on a home built, or at least an ultralight ....
