Realty Link - in the opening post - George!
I just saw it yesterday in an on-line Realty Publication - don't have any connections to it!

Becoming the Airport Manager is the ideal here - All you'd do is Bush Hog each side of the runway & set up the 170 Fly-in each year. Other than that you'd just have to figure out what to do with your own mile-long runway and 2 massive hangers. Maybe fish, hunt turkey, or sit on a spit-n-whittle bench, each day. Not the kind of life for a young city-type person or Socialite Texan.

I don't know about that... sounds about perfect for the First Socialite Texan after he moved to Dallas. No one seems interested in him anymore.

AR Dave,

Do the house and the airport manager job go hand-in-hand? Is there an application process for the airport manager position? Things out here in California are getting a little pricey and Petit Jean is not very far from my home town in East Texas.

Do the house and the airport manager job go hand-in-hand?

NO - two different subjects - I'm really just trying to perk comments from our our Petit Jean 170 Crowd, who've driven by that house many times and always talk about moving there. The manager's job comes up now and then, after someone tries to make something up there. The current manager lives in Little Rock and just parks his planes (from his commercial business) in the hangers. The manager before, had an interior shop. He & his wife would come & go, in their motorhome. I can certainly ask the current manager, when he's going to hang it up.

It takes me about 2.5 hrs to get to Tyler, where I grew up. Now if you would like, I'll fwd you For Sale Homes, in a truely wonderful, 25K population town, 15 miles west of Petit Jean. Or you could go to the Court house and snag foreclosures with me. I woke up last saturday morning and decided I'd better go canoe part of the Buffalo River with my daughter - I'm telling you these Ozark Mtn's are nice. But there is a line of Californians heading this way.

Thanks for offer of real estate info, but don't go out of your way. My wife and I have been looking at property on and around Tyler Lake and Palestine. I have relatives all over Quitman and Miniola. Some of them have migrated into Arkansas. We are heading back to Quitman in October for a family reunion - maybe get a better look around when we are there.

Well there's not but one area of Arkansas to live in - the NW quarter! Basically the Ozarks. It's downhill from there - into Lousiana & Texas. I grew up on Lake Palestine, behind The Wharf, across the fence from Emerald Bay.

Here's an Arkansas Airpark that I wish one of our members would move too.
