The travel bug
What size airport do you need? One for Cessna's or one for a small jet or turbo prop?

The travel bug
Oh easy there Dennis, I quit flying the big boys when my Uncle Sam stopped paying the bills....  .
Of course if you need a pilot for the Tractor Point corporate jet or something...... LMAO!!!
No, all I need is 1000' or better of fairly smooth turf.
In fact my employees have been surprised more than once by my arrival to the fairway of an unfinished golf course.
Basically if someone has the nerve to call it an airstrip it will work for me.
Best of luck.

Murf,
I am really sorry for the reason you need to travel. I am so glad you realize there are a few here not like him.
I really wonder what he had on Rose to make him work so hard to get him elected.

Murf, don't know where I'll be be when you pass by Iowa. But if you want a free meal, feel free to stop in Iowa. Newton, IA has a nice long runway that corporate jets land on. It's about 20 minutes from my house and right by the new race track they built in town. Link to the track is below.
Or even if you need a place to crash for an overnight, just give a few minutes notice. Hopefully the Lab won't do a stink roll. He did it again Monday morning right before I left for work.

I didn't know Earthworks built airports !!!
The runway's a CIRCLE!!!!
Oh, wait a minute, that's the race track, sorry....
At the moment, the plan puts me about 500 or 600 miles north of you Iowa, but the map says theres a village called Murphy nearby, and gophers might be in season by then, so you never know.
Art, Burger King is 4.3 miles away, up on Mountain Ave. by the highway. .
Best of luck.

Murf:
You're always welcome to stop by for refreshments, etc. up in Oscoda when traveling on your northern routes. The old Wurtsmith AirForce base is a few minutes away from my condo.
That was a SAC airbase, so the airfield is big enough for loaded B-52's coming or going. It is a beautiful airfield and doesn't get that much use compared to its capabilities.

Murf,
Besides the BK there is a Applebees, Ruby Tuesday, McD's, couple of Chinese places, Sushi Bar, ..... If you stop by the wife will have a deep dish apple pie waiting (ala Mrs Smiths), with our deluxe quest suite with turn down service. For breakfast you have a a choice of homemade pancakes or bacon and eggs, she does not do home fries, sorry

Murf, the Sunset Airstrip here in Oregon is at 45.59 latitude , -123.01 longitude, elevation 207 feet. Here's a link. It's probably the closest to our location and not anywhere as busy as Hillsboro (although Hillsboro isn't anything like a commercial airport).
