Thanks, Allen. We have a place for you any time :)
Sure would like to get together and look your plane over to see what ours should have to be BCP cool.

That's such a blessing! There's nothing quite like being able to walk into the backyard, take off, and go wherever you want!!! Looks awesome =D>

Nice place! Even on vertical video!

No seriously, It is something special to walk out the back door and walk to the hangar and go.

I too am blessed in that way.

It's fabulous when a dream actually comes together. It looks like your dream is alive and well. Keep sharing progress on development of your field. Be careful though. As Kevin Costner said in Field Of Dreams, "if you build it they will come".

Yeah, you don't wanna have to deal with "the heartbreak of defeat" (someone else's defeat, that is) like Supermaule had to do with his strip not long ago.

I guess I don't know that story.... Should I be worried ?

I wold love to plan a little get together. Lots of room to park plane and pitch tents.
Or you can just come visit. Might be a good idea to have a little visit and talk about the facility ahead of time I guess.....

Thank you. Now could you please stop this rain so that I can get home, please? Denver is nice but I'd like to get home eventually :)

Re: My little home strip

Very nice strip you have, I am lucky enough that I have the hangar in the backyard thing going on as well. The scenery is a little less remarkable in my part of the country but on the upside I don't have many mountains or trees to get in my way. Mine is a little longer, since what the heck I have the room. 4000 feet to land most anything I want.

Unusually green for this time of year. The rain continues and we are loving it.

That's awesome, Mike! I envy the length and clear approaches.
