    Re: Airstrips

    Good Thoughts.

    I have a couple of videos also

    Highest Strip East of the Mississippi - Nerv'ana

    Merril C. Meigs - Chicago

    Not the clearest days on either, that about covers my flying stuff on the web.

    Hope all enjoyed.

    When I was in Highschool (Lindsay, Oklahoma.. the broom corn capital of the world back then) There was a farmer out on the highway south of town that used the paved highway as his strip, taxying out or back on his driveway and parking next to his house. Yet another advantage of high wing... you clear the mail box, fence, and gate.

    I guess your public roads are a mite too well travelled for that. He did it there for years with no problems and the guvamint mowed the grass 'longside.
