>Yes, I am a pilot and live on an airpark. I have an airplane I built; the kit is from Oregon - Aurora actually.

Yes, I'm familiar with them ... I assume you're talking about Van's RV planes. We have a friend in Seattle who has one. And my nephew, who's only about 20 I think and has been flying since he was maybe 16 or so, wants to build one of those "one of these days".

>A Piper Arrow is nice, I have a few hours in an arrow.

Gary just bought the Arrow this year, in April. He bought it from a guy in Connecticut, so he had to fly it all the way back home. His flight instructor went with him, just for fun. It took them three days. He didn't need to have his instructor along (he already had his private pilot cert, but was still studying for his instrument rating, which he got in early August), but Craig said that he always wanted to fly clear across the country, so Gary invited him along.

>Yes, I am living my dream by living on an airpark and working from home. ....ohh. guess I better get back to work.

First time I ever saw an airpark was in Sun River, OR just this year. I thought it was so cool. Sun River's nice because it's paved and has instrument approaches. And the houses are way cool.

Very nice ... a lake and everything! I'm jealous! We were looking for houses to buy here in Hillsboro (still in a furnished apartment, the company's paying for it for a few more months) ... anyway, there was a mini-airpark nearby that we looked at briefly ... but, like your place, it only had a grass strip. The Arrow really does prefer something paved. <g>
