Yesterday, Rich Girard added to the life-experiences of Dr. Dee and
myself with rides in his Trike. That's what I call getting
up close and personal to the flying experience! Got a picture of the
present state of 1K1 on short final and stuck it up on aeroelectric.com
as the background picture. You can see the new 2000' extension of
the runway in the distance. The ol' cow pasture has become a 'real'
airport.
Scenes for the movie Gypsy Moth were filmed at 1K1. It was still
a sod strip then. We had a sign on the wall of the big hangar
making note of the fact that Burt Lancaster used it for a
dressing room during the filming.
I note that the runway is now 17/35 . . . seems the compass-
north has moved enough to justify re-numbering the runway.

Hey Bob, we can see a nice view of your house on the right before the

Is that an all-electric trike?

I wish. the airport had a covenant with houses on both sides
of the runway for access by aircraft owners. The house
you're referring to is the newest in the neighborhood and
across the street from the airport. A house owned by the
guy who developed the land in the first place is not visible
behind the Trike's control hoop. When he started to develop
the land across the street, ALL the lots were platted for
homes . . . just what we needed. Houses 400 feet of the
end of the runway!
I think there's been a meeting of the minds now for
protecting the land off the runway approaches. I almost
bought a house out there. In
http://aeroelectric.com/Pictures/Misc/1K1_Spring_1989.jpg
the southernmost property just west of the runway
can be seen to be surrounded by trees etc. That was
a junker house that some guy was trying to build
by himself. What he was assembling would never be
habitable and when he died, the property sold for
less than land value because the new owner would
have to remove the construction. It was a deal but
I had way too much on my plate to really consider it.
