Pilotsville

I saw a BBC programme a few years ago about a residential community in the States that had been designed for private aircraft owners. Instead of garages, the houses had hangars, side roads were taxiways and the main street was a runway. Can anyone tell me the name of the place and where I might find out more about it? (Honest - it's true)

It certainly is true, there are plenty of them down here in Florida. A friend of mine was invited to one and the owner of the house he stayed at had two warbirds. I found this one with a google search http://www.airporthomes.com/

One of these places was featured on BBC 2's 'The Air Show' a couple of years ago. It was called Spruce Creek if I remember correctly.

Amazing place for retirement me thinks...

Thanks for the help MNT. Anyone want to buy a PR company so that I can start packing now?
