Thanks for all the replys.
Just wondering how much it would cost to pave the strip.
Lengthening is out of the question as it one end has a deep gorge with a river at the bottom and the other end is bounded by a public road. Another property just down the road could fit a 900m strip however.
The hardest part will be convincing the mrs that we really do NEED our own plane. The same as wee need that flash car and kick arse home theatre.
Sure hope she doesnt say nyet.
Bythewy, theres heaps of Baron vids on youtube of guys going in and out of 700-800m strips and they seem to have no trouble. One even shows a Citation 2 blasting out of a 2000 ft strip. thats about 800m...must have been very light.
