It's a very nice set up, Gulfstream on one side and 707 on the other.

What the Hell??? Does he live right on the airport? Or does he have a private strip large enough for that 707?

I fly over that place all the time. It is most impressive.

Thats actually a large metal globe that sits in his front yard. The picture that was linked is rather old. I've been there on the ground several times and I must say it is pretty impressive to see a 707 and G2 in his backyard.

Its one of the more interesting runways I've landed on mostly because of it's width, lack of proper striping, and huge displaced thresholds. The centerline stripes are only about 12" wide, not wide enough for a nearly 300' wide runway, and the runway slopes up a bit causing a pretty wicked landing illusion. There is also a 500' tall antenna about 1 mile south of the 18 departure end.

There is a fly in brunch on the first Sunday of every month at the countryclub; I do believe you have to be on their email list for an invite though.

More photos. The last photo really give you a good perspective of the size of the 70.

Been there, you can easily get a 707 in, Runway is massive

I've flown over it many times and can't see why such a huge displaced threshold on both sides. Anyone know?

i heard that JT has homosexual tendencies, and this is from someone that flew with him 5-6 years ago.
