I wish. the airport had a covenant with houses on both sides
of the runway for access by aircraft owners. The house
you're referring to is the newest in the neighborhood and
across the street from the airport. A house owned by the
guy who developed the land in the first place is not visible
behind the Trike's control hoop. When he started to develop
the land across the street, ALL the lots were platted for
homes . . . just what we needed. Houses 400 feet of the
end of the runway!
I think there's been a meeting of the minds now for
protecting the land off the runway approaches. I almost
bought a house out there. In

the southernmost property just west of the runway
can be seen to be surrounded by trees etc. That was
a junker house that some guy was trying to build
by himself. What he was assembling would never be
habitable and when he died, the property sold for
less than land value because the new owner would
have to remove the construction. It was a deal but
I had way too much on my plate to really consider it.
