30min +-a few depending on traffic/time of day. normally, i'm headed opposite to commuting traffic :-)

would not want to live further and it is a huge factor in any discussion about a new home in the future...

30 minutes each way for me but have my eyes set on 30 seconds someday.

40 to 50 mins depending on traffic. Could keep it at work but more chances of hangar damage and flying out of an international airport can be a bitch sometimes.

It looks like it will take Paul, Rob, Joel, and Steve just to cancel out Vlad's numbers!

It takes me longer to open the hangar door than to get to the hangar door. My pre-flight is typically about 5 minutes.

I try to fly twice a week but it averages out to more like once per week.

Default 10 seconds

I think I can beat Wesael! I always hit the hangar door button as I exit my living room and I can be down the stairs and pulling my 6a out within 10 seconds. Now, if I stop to close my oil door and pull the pitot cover off, it may take me at least a minute!

Default Poll?

I would like to have seen this post set up as a poll, with accompanying bar graph. Oh well.

I'm still building, but it takes me about 10 seconds to get from my main level to the garage/workshop in the basement. Having the project close really helps me keep moving on things.. Especially since we recently had our first child. It's even within baby-monitor range!

Default 5 min.

About 5 minutes each way. Worse yet, I can see the hangar and airport from my house/office. Makes for poor work efficiency on days with nice flying weather.
