Default Thanks, Tim..

...there are several RV's at Eagle Neck airpark, 30 miles south of Savannah on the Harris Neck road, including a couple of -8A's. I'll see if I can find a phone # since it's a gated community.

Best,

The best point of contact at Eagle Neck is Wayne Owens at (912) 832-6778. He's the de facto gatekeeper. Failing that, try Jeff Anderson at (912) 342-2322.

Thank ya'll very much! Are these the folks with the 8-A's? We spend a lot of time down that way. I'd sure like to see/ride/fly one. Also, will there be any 8's at Jekyll this weekend?

Thanks for the help!

Tim

Default Not sure...

....but Wayne Owens has a -9A and I know of two flying -8A's there. Jack Eckdahl lives on the runway edge and has a flying -9A also.

BTW, the houses sure have dropped in value there and this is a real buyers market! Quite a few for sale with beautiful marsh views and some with tidal creek access as well. Undoubtedly one of the most attractive airparks in the Southeast with all the moss-covered oaks and beautiful views.

Best,

Best,
Pierre,
Where have you seen new prices? I have kept an eye on the properties there for a couple of years now and haven't seen any price decreases. Especially on the ones with marsh views.

Thanks,

Just checked with HoneyBaby, she says the drops have been mostly on the interior lots, not so much on the ones with the marsh views. But, if your lookin', she can help! As Pierre said, it's definitely a buyers market......

For those interested in Eagle Neck property, I would suggest contacting Ann Fuller, a real estate agent that lives there: [email]ann@fullerproperties.net Very nice lady. There will be at least two RV guys from Eagle Neck flying into Jekyll on Sunday for the brunch. We built a home there in 2000 and lived there from then until 2005. Nothing better than having your airplane in the front yard.

Debi, the founder at Pilot N Paws, has declared us the first official PNP "chapter" so I guess we need a name If you do any trips mention the SE Georgia RV group she is always looking for more pictures and trip reports. We did another one today with 6 more puppies to LAL.

If you are planning on going to the "up scale" brunch in the hotel I would suggest you call and make a reservation letting them know you are with the fly in group 800 535 9547 or 912 635 2600. I will call them tomorrow morning and let them know what is up.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.

....on the west side with tidal creek acces that have come down in price, one which Dick Sipp built himself. Probably the most beatiful home there....started out at over $900,000, now down to $750,000, still overpriced.

The other one, also with a hangar and two-car garage, is down in the $400,000 range.

My wife looks at Multiple Listing services for the area and finds these prices.

Best,
