PPSEL, about 90 hours or so, some in 172's but most in cherokee variants. I've done some work toward my IFR rating, but I've still got a long way to go.

Not able to fly as much as I want. My goal in life is to buy 80 acres, put a 2,000 foot strip right down the middle of it, and fly my own aircraft off of it and farm the rest with antique equipment. I recently became interested in homebuilts (my neighbor airline pilot is building one in his basement) and I might even give that a try; the two I am most interested in now are the Savannah (www.skykits.com) and the STOL 701 (www.zenithair.com). Both look like they would be perfect for a grass strip.

When I look on Google Earth, I'm surprised at the number of grass strips that are around. Several are in the area where I used to hang out while growing up-they were there then, too, but I just didn't know what I was looking at.

It makes me wonder what kind of classic aircraft are sitting around in old barns and hangars on the farms-cubs, aeroncas, etc.
