Wouldn't it be far easier, although probably not profitable, to go the Compton Abbas route; 800m or so of grass, with a clubhouse and hangers?

Either way, as others have stated, the startup costs would probably be astronomical, and the likely revenues somewhat lacking.

Still, if you think you can do it, good luck.
