Once at High Point I quicky ran into Yens - A Sonex pilot who is based off this field. He had just finished his annual so his plane was still in the hangar with the cowling off. Perfect for me because I am working on the firewall forward components right now my plane! This allowed me to see how someone else did it - and ask questions that I had still floating around in my head. Our airplane chatter was quicky interupted with a call from my dad. Isaac was out of control crying! It is tuff taking a one year old to these events!
We were making our way back to the hangar where the food was, and this mooney came zooming by!
People in line waiting to get their grub!
At this time Grace, dad, and myself had ate and was heading back out to the van. Isaac and my mom did not eat. Isaac was sleepy so he would not stop crying - mom took him out to the van before they could eat. Here is Grace... good times!
Nested in Northeast Florida, a few miles south of Daytona Beach and NASCAR's epicenter, the Daytona International Speedway, lies one of the most unique residential communities in the world.
ReplyDeleteThe Spruce Creek Fly-in Community is the world's most famous residential airpark. With a 4,000 ft lighted runway and a GPS approach, the private airport at the center of the community can accommodate anything from a Stearman to a Gulfstream.
Originally a navy airfield during WWII, it evolved into the world's largest residential fly-in community. Today, almost 5,000 residents, 1,300 homes and 700 hangars share a unique life in this private gated village with immaculately groomed homes and common grounds. The first thing a visitor sees after driving through the security gates is a sign that summarizes the spirit of this community: “CAUTION Children and Adults at Play”. Truly a piece of pilot's heaven.
A championship golf course and Country Club and 24-hr patrolled security complements the safety, privacy and enjoyment of the residents. Frequent community-wide events and social clubs for most any interest from flying to book reading and gardening ensure a tightly knit and friendly community hard to duplicate anywhere. John Travolta and many other celebrities have enjoyed the Spruce Creek Fly-In lifestyle and privacy. Current home prices vary from a $165,000 condo to several million dollar hangar mansions.
Please keep in mind that any visits are by invitation only, as the community is not open to the public. If you are interested in Spruce Creek Real Estate, contact the folks at Karlhaus Realty for an invitation and they will happily schedule a guided tour: Spruce Creek Real Estate.
