Hi folks!
Since I live here and I’m Homer’s son, I figured I could clear this up a bit.
The place listed is John Steimer’s farm which forms the other end of our Group B airport 43PA. http://www.airnav.com/airport/43PA
If you look at http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=580+wall+street+phoenixville+pa&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=60.158465,95.185547&ie=UTF8&ll=40.157869,-75.544825&spn=0.014415,0.023239&t=h&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1 You can see the runway with a tree line in about the middle. To the West is John’s farm and to the East is our farm.
John’s property is gorgeous and the pond is larger now then in the satellite picture. The runway is huge – 3200’ x 100’ wide and flat. Sadly this is the only one like it around and you could never create a new one anywhere around here with today’s zoning restrictions. I learned to fly on this runway by “crow hopping” the Kolb flyer on this wonderful, long stretch of runway.
John is in no hurry to sell since he put so much effort into extending our runway and really loves the property and just hates the idea of putting in a housing development which would not only kill his end of the runway but would most likely cut down our remaining 1200’ with obstructions. I’m getting nervous since a nice development offer to John could wipe it out and he will eventually sell it. This would make a great flight park either with a large common hangar or each house with its own hangar (farm building). We are in Chester county and if a property is over 10 acres it can qualify for reduced taxes and fewer township hassles under 319 (it’s considered a farm). http://dsf.chesco.org/chesco/cwp/view.asp?a=1413&q=573695
Stop in or fly in – I’d be happy to take anyone on a tour.
