Outside of Ocala, Florida lies what is called a residential 'aviation community' a.k.a. my worst nightmare. The community is officially named Jumbolair, and it is designed around one very large runway. Each of the 38 lots consists of about 2+ acres, and every home-site has a street and driveway in front, and a taxiway in the rear for your plane(s). John Travolta actually lives there....the pic is of his estate. He owns a 707 and a Gulfstream jet, and employs a cockpit crew of six, who along with him wear navy blue uniforms and jaunty white caps. He uses the 707 as the family van and the Gulfstream as his sportscar.
I can't imagine living here. It's an interesting concept, if you love flying and are the owner of a private plane, which would make you filthy stinkin rich. It's not that obsurd, sort of the same thing as living on the water with a boat or two.
We have a Ford in our driveway. I bet Travolta doesn't have a Ford....
