How long is your 170's airstrip?

I could do 4 miles but I'd rather not base out of Dulles

Being from Alexandria, northern Virginia is technically home, even though we've been North Carolinians since 1993. I love going up that way, but it seems like every time I go back, it's a bigger and bigger PITA to live there.

I would like to go visit what's left of W32 sometime, as that's where we based all of our airplanes when we were living up that way. It looks like we were 12.5 miles from it by car, or about 6 as the crow flies. Google says that it's a 40 minute commute.

No thanks.

I may be the luckiest guy in the discussion... Married to a woman who will beat me to the plane if I utter a sentence which contains the words "go flying" ... and my hangar is at the end of our house and attached to 27 acres consisting to two, 3500'+ crossing runways that I have total control over in a durable and exclusive aircraft right-of-way...while the absent landowner's trust pays all the taxes and owns all the liabilities. All I have to do is grab a cold one, crank up the tractor, and go mow every once in a while. (Blind squirrels DO find acorns occasionally,...)

Two runways? Wow!

[blueldr]

What the hell kind of pilot needs TWO runways?

The kind that...as luck would have it.... hasn't the time to take advantage of them.
(But wait until MAY! Jamie says I'm "retiring" in May.)
Then I can care for them properly perhaps...

George, I hear that the city of Austin now offers runway snow removal:

Miles,
Is that a drone snow plow? I do not see a door for an operator to get inside.

maybe I could make one of those out of a couple of Schwinn electric scooters

[GAHorn]

That's one that Aryana made to go with his 27% project!

[Kyle Wolfe]

Gives me an idea for my Isetta!
