Air Park Country Life
I will attempt to post a few images of life in the country at an air park in Missouri. There are lots of air parks around the county. This one is neat in that it was a farm at one time and many features of the farm are retained.

The building with the white roof is our hangar. The house is under construction at the "Y" of the roads. The runway is at upper left just beyond another hangar, which is just across the road from a small horse stable.

Hangar complete, RV ready to go.

Great Framing Crew at Work. These guys were local farmers who frame houses for money, farming is tough in this area.

Finished product. We've been here 2 years and have been busy installing an irrigation system and lots of plants. My wife is a master gardener and even though a bed rock city woman, is beginning to love life in the country. There are 30 some lots at this place with 5 homes at this time. Airplanes include a Bonanza, a couple Cessnas, a Piper Commanche, a Pitts, a Luscome, a Thorpe, a Cub and one other RV-6A, there are many more airplanes here than people. Most have built a hangar but no home, yet. One guy has parts of 4 airplanes in his hangar and one flying.
Pool going in.

One year later, visiting grandkids.
And finally, in keeping with a RV forum, OSH 06.

Airpark living is truly the best. We also live on a former farm that now hosts about 25 homes. A grass strip, a nice home with a pool, and the best airplane a pilot could hope for. Ah, the good life!!!!

Green with envy
I had purchased property at the Rosamond skypark, but plans changed. I have been looking at skyparks near Branson. But that will be more of a retirement type idea.
Congrats. Looks like a great life style.
