So basically, you are only doing what I am doing: clear some crop (or mow the lawn) , possibly put up a windsock and be done with it. Not actually constructing a runway as such. :)

So why do we have a lot less CFIT accidents on approach or even en-route than we had when they were the only game in town?

Were those pilots in the 30s, 40s and 50's simply not trained well enough?

There is a couple of private ones on the map; Hall to the north west and Tralee south. I know Hall is active, but know nothing of Tralee.
