Ethan wrote that who just I live across the street for an inactive grass field, main problem for pilots was deer and dogs on the runway. We could never fly kites or launch Estes rockets this close to an airport. I once had my dinner interrupted by a pilot who crashed and walked up to the house and asked to use the telephone. His Globe Swift's alternator had failed. He couldn't manually crank down the landing gear and wanted to land on grass to save the plane. Now we have a sixty acre park, we still mow the runway, great for walking dogs and exercise, no cars allowed. Occasional wood chucks, deer, turkeys, and foxes however. Mike
