Where I Fly.

[Pilot4Life]

WHAT?!?!?!? YOU'VE GOT TO BE JOKING...RIGHT? My two favorite hobbies side by side, and a beautiful flying area to boot! Maybe one day, in a land far far away, I'll have to fly in to visit you "jiott", with the clubs packed of course! Beautiful, just beautiful.

No joke! That's why they named the airport "Fairways". Its not a complete bowl of cherries however, one approach is over a housing development; the other is over a huge system of power lines as you can see in the photos. Not very friendly to an engine failure on takeoff.

I did practice some "impossible" 180 degree turns today at altitude of course and found the Kitfox capable of completing the maneuver in just a little over 300' of altitude loss. Of course that is not a safe working number considering the surprise factor, obstacles, etc. Nevertheless, it is an impressive airplane.

me and the wife are overdue for a trip to twin oaks, maybe next month. flyin eat breakfast and go to the museum is our plan. if we make it I'll look for ya at the breakfast. nice pics. oh and the runway is very doable with the kitfox.

[jiott]

Be great to see you at the breakfast. We have at least 3 Kitfoxes in the area; maybe we can get all of us to show up at Twin Oaks one of these times.

[jiott]

finally made it to the east side for the first time this year to a state strip thats fun to visit . its also pretty popular with campers . if there is a fire in the area , the forrest service will use it to stage their choppers

tj , looks like a popular place for boats and camping . sadly the u.s. navy pretty much ruined me for both of those activities . i just stick to flying in , wondering around a while and leaving . thats what i enjoy

[Slyfox]
