My dream home airport state/location is ____ because?

Postby jowens » Wed Jan 11, 2017 8:32 pm

Hi Builders,
In the midst of a cold Minnesota winter I would like to hear about other builder's description of their flying paradise. Real, or places you have visited.

My criteria would be:
-Light to moderate winds
-Moderate temperature year around
-decent humidity
-Hard surface and grass strip options.

Our weather in Colorado (front range) is really quite nice. We get just enough cold snaps and snow to make us appreciate the sunny warm days that are far more abundant. The only negative thing aviation wise is our high density altitude which really degrades performance.

I can't see a think wrong with that list of criteria! Sounds like a pretty nice place.

Where is it????? :)

North Island, New Zealand. Fits all your criteria, with fabulous beaches, mountains big enough for serious skiing, unique fauna and flora to see, best big fish fishing on the planet, great light aircraft scene.
