Mike,

I can think of nothing cooler than keeping my airplane in my garage in a home on an airpark but things like field maintenance costs and liability concern me.

I think having a hangar at a small, quiet municipal field that is a couple of miles from the house would be a satisfactory compromise.

Jeff,

Curious as to why you'd rule out an airpark. Most pilots (myself included) would love to live on one.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Airports in Oregon

Hello all,

I will be vacationing in Oregon in mid August and I want to visit a few airports in my search for a new home. Here are some criteria:

1. Suburban/semi-rural housing within 3 miles of a small municipal airport

2. A mid-to-large municipal airport within 30 miles

3. Western/costal part of the state

4. No private air parks

5. Reasonable property values

If you happen to know of any airports that meet some of those criteria, I'd like to hear your suggestions.

Many thanks,

Jeff Luckey
