                      I created a (forced perspective) runway for Santa in the back yard with some extra Christmas lights last year.IMG_2755.jpg

                        @pip-bip It'd fit one of these quite nicely though. Which is all you could fly from that runway anyway.

                          @skyfire77 I do know there is a community built with personal planes and hangers in mind. They have their own runway and then taxi their planes to their house. The roads are crazy wide but otherwise normal with stop signs

                            @engineer-in-motion Now THAT is cool. Admittedly a wider front lawn and a golf cart to take you to the runway (where many planes seem to be stored anyways) might be a better tradeoff but who doesn't want to taxi their plane into a specialized garage in their house?

                                    @skyfire77 But is the house actually west of the street?

                                      @engineer-in-motion I know there are at least two communities built around runways like that in Houston, though those are roads in the front, runway in the back so the planes aren't on the street like that.

                                            After getting my pilot cert., I started receiving e-mails about fly-in communities about once a week. It's tempting, but most of them are nowhere near where I work.

                                            Never discount the possibility that you might live through it.
