I have a brother that is also a pilot and he lives about 4 miles from his plane. Mine is more like 25 road miles away and requires a half hour drive. That really makes a difference when you are working on the plane and remember you left something at home that is needed for the current job. This got me curious about the situation that others have. So, how about it? How far do you live from your plane and how long do you typically spend driving to get there?

So, how about it? How far do you live from your plane and how long do you typically spend driving to get there? JimC Until a year ago, I lived 1/2 hour from the airport. Then I sold that house, and purchased another that is 10 minutes from work and the airport. Now a woman has come into the picture and I'm selling my neato new house and making an intermediate move into *her* house which is an hour from the airport. I think the "next" house, AKA the "compromise house" will be 40 minutes from the field. I may have to relocate the aircraft...

JimC The airport with our plane is half way between me and work. Six miles to the airport and another six miles to work from the airport. It's a 15 minute drive either way.

Still though, I do the work on the plane at a different airport that's about a 10 minute flight away. It's where the tools are....

There is an airport 5 min away,but for many reasons doesn't work out. Bob Barker N8749S Back to top Bob Fry Guest Posted: Fri Oct 31, 2003 3:56 am    Post subject: Re: Distance to Airport 6-7 miles. Less than 15 minutes. I used to live 3 miles away, that was great. Easy to decide to go flying after work at the last second. Then my flying club and I moved in opposite directions and I had a drive like Paul. That sucked. After a year I quit and got my own plane. What a difference. Besides being closer, my direct hourly cost is a lot lower so I fly literally 4 times as much. "Paul Sengupta" <paul.sengupta (AT) nospam (DOT) etl.ericsson.se> writes: Quote: 55 miles. 1 hour.

I'm about 1 minute from the Marlborough, MA airport, but my plane's not based there. I'm based at 1b9, about a 35 minute drive from home. My partner has about a 65 minute drive. We've considered moving, but I dread hanscom/massport. We'll likely consider moving again, because of the new "Stalag 1B9" that's happened lately. -- Aaron Coolidge (N9376J) Back to top G.R.

Dunno the distance (I feel distance is unimportant in a State in which it takes 15 to 30 minutes to travel 5 miles). It takes me about 45 minutes to drive to the airport.

As the blazer drives, its 15 miles, a half hour, several twisted mountain roads, one state line, two bridges (one spanning the Columbia), three towns, four stop signs, two stop lights and one security gate away. Yes, I'd rather be flying. -- Frank Stutzman Bonanza N494B "Hula Girl" Hood River, OR Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AirTalk.org Forum Index -> Owning Airplanes All times are GMT Goto page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6  Next Page 1 of 6   Jump to: Select a forum Aviation----------------alt.aviationAviation safety EnhancementPlanes, gliders and flying in AustraliaAviation et pilotage (Français)rec.aviationAviation (Aerobatics)Hot air, gas balloons and airshipsHang-gliding, paragliding, foot-launched flightAircraft Design & BuildingInstrument Flight RulesAviation (Classifieds)Military AircraftNaval AviationAviation (Miscellaneous Topics)Owning AirplanesAviators (General Discussions)Aviation related productsAircraft RestorationHelicopters and rotary wing aircraftsFlight SimulationSailplanesAviation (Students)Light aircraftFlying related activities in the UK Airports----------------alt.airportsEdinburgh Airport Glasgow Airport Humberside Airport Luton Airport Aberdeen Airport Glasgow Prestwick Airport  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
