A guy I work with bought a few acres and put in a couple of small runways, one N-S and one E-W.
Hmmm AirNav says 6 aircraft based there, must be his buddies PPGs that they keep there.

The coolest thing is that that is where the army helicopter demo team practices thier airshow routine, http://www.armyav.org/

I could have shown those army guys a thing or two about laying down some smoke......But they had really cool rocket launchers and 20mm cannons, so I figured that trumped the smoke system. :)

I'll find out Phil, they train in the late winter - early spring before the airshow season starts.
