We're just west of ATL, and it's a comforting feeling when we're landing to the east on the PRM's - I can often catch a glimpse through a gap in the clouds and make sure that our resident firebug hasn't burnt the place down. It's a long story, short version being I grew up hanging out here with the guy I crewed for on the airshow circuit. He died in '03, and the place sat vacant for a couple years when his widow moved to town - she's no farm girl. She heard I was back in town to take the job at ASA and made me a sweetheart deal renting the place to get it back in shape and said I could rent out rooms to break even.

Back to the original intent of the thread, which I apologize for hijacking, there's a little extra space in the hangar. Some friends keep their Zlins and Cub here, and I can sneak in an occasional other plane to mechanic on - It's nice, being able to use my A&P while the company pays me to stay home on reserve.
