Probably so but it's nice to engage in those activities without
entering into a business deal every time. :-)

The IBM guy here had a plane at Page Field and he lived in the Villas.
He could ride a bike or even walk to his plane without getting out on
the main drag.
That was his excuse.

He said it was great to be able to just hop in the plane and go see
his family in Tennessee.
He ended up selling the plane and buying a second home in Tennessee
when he was transferred to Tampa saying it was a better investment and
about a wash in cost. I think the tie down was more expensive up there
too,

I suspect this is probably a relatively inexpensive area to store a
plane since there are so many small airports around. The big
attraction for me would be sightseeing along the coast and quickly
hopping over to the Bahamas. Hopefully we'll be able to do the same
thing with Cuba one of these days.
