Low altitude surveylance

Was in the shop today working on a project or two. Arround noon a pretty nice looking 170 started to circle my place pretty low. By the time I got out the shop gun the plane was gone. That you Zane?

Been too busy to finish the landing strip but when it is done you will be the first notified. At 2500 ft elevation and about 80 deg F, how much runway does a 170 need to get off. Down hill a bit but that will probably just make up for the grass.

Wasn't me (I'm in Reno right now) but it will be soon. I'm headed up to Grants Pass again on tuesday, I should be out flying by the end of the week. Drop into 3S8 if you're out in the 182 Tim and headed north.
