Frax Flying to Aviation Communities - Spruce Creek, etc.

[On Your Six]

Do you frax pilots ever fly into some of those private aviation communities like Spruce Creek, Mountain Air (in NC), John Travolta's fly-in community near Ocala and others? Do you need to get some special permission first? Can you park your aircraft there overnight or do you need to reposition the aircraft elsewhere? What are some of the more interesting fly-in communities you have seen? I am sure a PC-12, P-180 and maybe a CJ1 could land at some of the shorter strips...

I overflew Spruce Creek recently and it looked very nice...

Other people's experience may differ but I do, rarely, fly into private strips. I have never overnighted. We always have moved the plane to a public airport.

This is a fun little airport in the Keys. We run in and out of there in the PC-12 alot in the summer. There was a FLOPS Hawker 800 at the airport during my last trip there. Plenty of room if you are light. In yee ol' Pilatus we made it out of there with 6.25 pax (.25=baby), tons of bags and 2100# of fuel, and still made it to BOS area with 1.5 hours of fuel left on board. Took a long time, but we did it.
