Random Griz Aviation Musings

For all the local people, especially the Pagistanians, “Washington Executive,” Hyde Field has declared bankruptcy and is up for sale. Sadly, the county says it can hold up to 1500 homes or a shopping mall. The area is kind of on the edge of open space and urban space and will be a loss.

Worse...for me...if it goes to homes people will buy them and suddenly become “aware” that my airfield is nearby and demand it be closed.

"Is this heaven?" A well manicured turf runway is a tail wheel pilot's dream. I have never known the joy.
