Looks like a 'residential airpark'. It's a neighbourhood with a nearby landing strip, where you're allowed to taxi direct to your house and personal hangar.
Oh wow, I didn't this was even a thing!
I saw the first 3 seconds and I was like "Wait, did this dude really just land a plane in the middle of the hood?"
Also, happy cake day!
Really cool post-apocalyptic book called The Dog Stars by Peter Heller that takes place in one of these. Two guys and a dog trying to hold out at one. More to it than that but awesome book and makes good use of the uniqueness of a place like this.
Its whatever serves them in the moment. They have no values, just a lie to prop up as always. Once denying climate change is useful to them they will switch back to that.
I think this is the neighborhood my grandparents live in. I live on the other side of the country and visit around once a year. I wouldn't even consider them rich. It's not just rich douchebags with private jets. Most of them are just old retired people with regular planes like cessnas. Everyone there is actually really friendly and really just there to make friends with a common interest: aviation. Literally everyone knows each other, and everyone's got a golf cart they can use on the taxiway, and theres frequent social meetups held at the little restaurant, which has some of the best pizza I've ever had. There's also some lady that i met that has a pet raccoon because, well, it's Florida.
Planes are cheaper than you think, but still considerably expensive. The price of a prop plane that’s in relatively good condition with good usable load will run you anywhere from 100k-200k, not to mention the thousands of dollars annually spent on mandatory annual inspections, fuel prices (you thought regular gas prices were bad? Hahahahahaha.). And hangar storage. And other costs like doctors visits to maintain your medical certificate, biannual pilot reviews.
Actually they are exactly as expensive as I think. MS Flight Sim got me interested, but I quickly had to cancel my plans of flying planes because costs are way to high for my broke ass. And I really don‘t think a 200k hobby is middle class. But you CAN rent yourself a plane wich is much cheaper.
Bro I can’t even afford a 100k house. These people got 100k-200k planes plus maintenance, golfcarts, and a large well kept property in Florida. If this isn’t rich idk what is
I was working the hangars for this flight school. I remember we were storing someone’s million dollar Lancair Evolution. Someone popped his head in to take a look, we start talking, he says something like “yeah I’m getting tired of my Cirrus (500k starting airplane lol) I’m looking to upgrade to something like this” how these people even exist completely baffles me
Luck of the draw I guess. I think a lot of people are born into wealth and think that’s what normal is and consider the multimillionaires the rich ones. I’ve been saving money since middle school and finally got up to 1000 which I think is a lot for a college student but someone from one of my classes said it wouldn’t be that much once I get out of school and they’re right, but I was still pretty sad I’ve been saving so long and someone said it wasn’t that much
The price range varies per model. Some of the older models are less than 100k, newer models are up to 5 million.
Yes it's still a lot of money, no it's not "that" expensive.
I was looking at pilot schools some time ago, and found it's not that outrageous. People own farms, horses, expensive cars... This sort of mid class can afford small planes if they want to. Tho I don't think it's that practical for most people, so mostly just hobbyists and fans may be interested.
On the other hand, it may actually make even practical sense for someone who travels a lot within a continent.
Helicopters tho? A completely different beast. Heli pilot training is already many times as expensive than for these small planes (which you also need in the first place), helis are also a ton more expensive and not much more practical anyway, considering all the limitations. By the time you get a permit to land somewhere, you might as well fly a plane to a nearest airport and a cab to where you need to be.
It really is. When I'm there, I drive around with my grandma looking at all the houses and just marvel at how cool and unique they all are and how cool it would be to own one. I think I've driven by every single house in the neighborhood now.
I used to live there (sort of). Had a girlfriend that had a house next John Travolta and Mark Martin (Nascar driver). Sometimes we would fly out and have lunch somewhere around FL. I also had a few friends living there and we used to party all the time and raise hell 😈 On my birthday I had a big party (around 200 people) at a place we called "The Tree" by the runway. That's the night I almost KILLED John Travolta (sort of). This one dude at the party throws a bottle on the runway just as JT jet is about to land 🙈🙉🙊 I wasn't allowed back in for 6 months (sort of). I have sooo many good memories from this place.
Bro, you have to be pretty goddamn wealthy these days just to own *any house at all*. If you do and aren't in some other kind of debt, the equity and land value alone, plus other assets will make you a millionaire in many places. Much less a mansion that has a garage that can fit a cessna in it. That's like 10+ million level.
I get that people like Zuckerberg and Musk have warped our perceptions of super rich, but this is still outside the realm of possibility for 99.99% of the people of the world. This is because you (or your family) are **already rich** if you get to travel across the country once per year and hang out like this.
I think ur right let me go fly to the other side of my super mansion to consult my personal therapist about this right after I finish this massage session.
Isn’t there an episode of juge Judy where a guy took his neighbour to court for leaving the bins out on a day that he was allowed to taxi his plane to the runway, on certain days you have to keep this road clear ???
Oddly, not too unreasonable. Airpark homes in WA start at $200k and of course, upward into the millions. https://www.homes77.com/airfield-airpark-homes-wa/
My grandparents use to live near a community built around an airport, the taxiways led to the neighborhood, and each house had an attached hangar.
All the street signs were super low to the ground to allow the wings to clear.
I got to ride in some guys experimental, open cockpit, biplane when I was like 8. It was amazing.
I used to house sit 2 dogs in Buckingham Park, Ft Myers. Super $$$ neighborhood. Everyone had a hangar on their house, the street and stop signs are like a foot off the ground. Signs at the entrance telling you to park at least 30ft off the roads, and the planes always have the right-of-way. And just hearing them come down the street was just way cool!
Theres one here in Fresno, CA, too. The houses dont look as fancy as the ones in this video. I was told they were a trend in the 70's but never caught on. I believe there are only a few of these communities left. Besides the mega rich communities lol

Went to a fly in breakfast at one once. Was the only ones who showed up in a helicopter.
That's because the other pilots weren't badass enough to fly a heli.
Well I didn’t fly it, my pilot referred to me as “self loading baggage”. I did however get to fly it a little in a straight line over Georgia once.
There’s one by my house called Threshold Ranch (near 5C1 Boerne Stage Airfield). Those people have $$$
Probably JumboAir in Florida. That’s where Travolta flys his personal 747 in and out of.
Just FYI, he has a 727, not a 747. Slight size difference.
He was in the pool!

TIL this exists. Wtffff
Just worked in a neighborhood like this in Florida some people had large garages like hangers with planes in them, crazy but cool
They are actual hangars
Looks like Taylor swift invited some guests
Taylor swift goes grocery shopping
lol
That's how I'd go anywhere I wanted to, if I had 100th the coin she has.
Ah this must be those dudes who didn't care about climate change until they found out T Swift has jets.
Its whatever serves them in the moment. They have no values, just a lie to prop up as always. Once denying climate change is useful to them they will switch back to that.
Ooops, wrong cheat code

„Not rich“ „just regular planes“

Renting is what a lot of recreational pilots stick to. That or fractional ownership.

Theyre not rich, youre just poor
Airplane poor

Dream life
It really is. When I'm there, I drive around with my grandma looking at all the houses and just marvel at how cool and unique they all are and how cool it would be to own one. I think I've driven by every single house in the neighborhood now.
Dude... if you have a plane, you are rich. Lol
Seriously lol
Mapnerd here. Could you name a close place so I can map it… thanks
Spruce Creek Fly-In - Port Orange, FL
Appreciate!
I used to live there (sort of). Had a girlfriend that had a house next John Travolta and Mark Martin (Nascar driver). Sometimes we would fly out and have lunch somewhere around FL.

I think you're still living in some sort of bubble when you say your grandparents aren't rich but can still afford a private plane in Florida
I think ur right let me go fly to the other side of my super mansion to consult my personal therapist about this right after I finish this massage session.
>not rich >Video starts filming some gigantic mansion from the inside of a plane taxying on some semi-private runway Humble brag much?
Not every house and plane in the neighborhood is like that bro
This sounds amazing. I hope I'm able to retire like this some day.
GTA 6 looks dope
Ramming Speed!!!
The rich are everywhere. There is a subdivision like this downstream from Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas. Every house has its own hangar.
Talk to the tower ask for Clarence, he will give you clearance.
Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads.
The new Uber?
Isn’t there an episode of juge Judy where a guy took his neighbour to court for leaving the bins out on a day that he was allowed to taxi his plane to the runway, on certain days you have to keep this road clear ???
that's such a tiny thing, unless it damaged his plane. just move the bins yourself.
We have a similar neighborhood near us and every house pretty much has an attached hangar and a couple runways for them to use. Must be nice...
Barry Seal coming back from work.
John Travolta has this.
"Money can't buy you happiness"
That plane looks equipped
Okay but what happens if a child or dog runs out into the road lol
Taxing to parking
Did they have an emergency landing or something
Oh the rich showing off how they can fly away in their neighborhood..or maybe they live in Alaska where that’s the only way to travel?
I lived in Alaska for four years. I don’t ever recall seeing any palm trees.
Yet.
Touché
Looks like Alaska.

Thank you
Whatcha doing there, cap?
Can’t park that there mate
Waiting for a basket ball to start rolling across the road and a kid following. Terrifying
Pretty interesting drug trafficing route to Florida.
Favorit neighbor
Looks like he took a left instead of a right when taxing.
Aero club Wellington florida
Sir, you can‘t park there
I thought someone made their car interior look like a plane until they panned and showed the wing!
No one will ever know
It’s a community for aviation enthusiasts. Couple of those in Florida
The kids playing ball on the road be like 💀
Wow I am so poor
Weird flex

👀..WTF🤔
Thought I was on shittyaskflying
Americans will do anything but walk a block or two, huh
This is what Taylor Swift does when a normal person would call an uber.
I used to house sit 2 dogs in Buckingham Park, Ft Myers. Super $$$ neighborhood. Everyone had a hangar on their house, the street and stop signs are like a foot off the ground. Signs at the entrance telling you to park at least 30ft off the roads, and the planes always have the right-of-way. And just hearing them come down the street was just way cool!
These types of houses have attached hanger garages that lead to a personal road to the air port. They are extremely cool
Dad I don’t think this is going to fit in the garage
GTA VI looks awesome!
Hey an EFD1000! I worked on the AHRS for that system 🤣
This is gotta be John Travolta’s air strip in FL.
I do this all the time where I live it's called an airpark
Had a dream like this once.
This is too rich for me to look at. Peace out.
This shouldn’t be allowed
Daytona Spruce creek ?
question…. where do they get fuel? Does a fuel truck deliver airplane fuel, or do they have to make stops at normal airports?
I bet he has a sticker on his Subaru that says "my other car is an airplane".
I know it's normal in Alaska but this ain't Alaska lol
Real life GTA
Bro thinks it’s gta
Looks like an entitled rich ass to me.
Taylor Swift going for a walk
Sick car mate
microsoft flight sim players be like
Totally normal behavior, I don't know what all these peasants are complaining about...
This is a fly-in community. Notice how there are no sidewalks and no mailboxes near the paved road/runway.
Florida is just begging for a far cry game
I took me ten seconds to realize
GTA 6
OOKAY NICE LANDING 🛬👏
Theres one here in Fresno, CA, too. The houses dont look as fancy as the ones in this video. I was told they were a trend in the 70's but never caught on. I believe there are only a few of these communities left. Besides the mega rich communities lol
Damn Cleetus McFarland is getting out of control! :p
There's a community in the keys, Florida, where you land your plane at your house. The sign says watch out for low flying planes
Bro really play gta irl😭
