    I was looking for a hotel in Oshkosh, WI for this summer. Anyway, one of their amenities is parking for your plane. Oshkosh is the home of the EAA, but I still found it funny.

    Oh, glad you mentioned that. I checked the EAA dates but forgot about that one. Looks like nothing going on when we are going.

    My husband (a private pilot, though he sold his plane ages ago and now just flies r/c planes) used to want to retire to an airfield community. I told him that was a dealbreaker for me. (I don't mind flying - my dad is a private pilot so I was raised flying in small planes. My FIL is a private pilot - just sold his plane last year. And my husband was building an airplane when we started dating - and I even flew in it ;-) But I personally have never wanted to learn to fly, so living in a community around the concept of flying - not my idea of fun ;-) Also, Sun n Fun in 2002 (?) was the last time I camped in a tent. Florida, in a tent. Ugh. Will never do it again! Being able to taxi up to a hotel seems like a GREAT idea to me!

    We have what I would assume is an airfield community not too far from me. I don't think it's really all that different from any community except for having its own air strip and a large number of pilots. All the houses that back up to the air strip have medium sized hangars behind them. One of the people I used to work with who wasn't a pilot lived in the community in a house that wasn't on the airfield. If you have your own plane it would seem like an awesome solution. I actually work with a several people who are pilots and a handful who have their own plane. I still don't know what I think about flying in smaller prop planes though. I was a musician in a former life and the instance of musicians dying in propeller driven aircraft is really high! I have flown in private jets before and whoa is that a way to travel! I wish I had THAT kind of money!

    I think that to live in an area built around a hobby that one spouse is into and the other isn't into is a recipe for discord in a marriage ;-)

    But also, and this might be the more pertinent point, I've never seen an airfield community where I'd actually want to live. So there's that.
