Airport expansion
 

With all the people moving into the Villages, what are the chances of Leesburg or Ocala expanding their airports to get a closer flight to the Villages?

No - but you might ask John Travolta.

Now THAT'S probably going to generate some head-scratching...... :wave:

He has a 707 parked in Ocala.

Yeah, that's the ticket...
 

I keep my Gulfstream at Leesburg. Any one need a ride, just let me know.... :D

Count me in! :thumbup: I'll bring the peanuts.

That actually falls within the realm of Department of Transportation. You could try and get a petition going within The Villages and have it presented to the Secretary of Transportation for essential air service. Talk about a very expensive program (Essential Air Service) to the taxpayers, though.

leesburg can accept international flights, not sure what the restrictions are on size of plane...gn

I'll have a catered meal for all if you land in PHL. :plane:

There is a grass strip just north of the micro racetrack that's off of 466A. If your flying here in a small plane. It's a private strip, so get permission first.

I'll do you one better. I'm planning on building a landing strip in my back yard here in TV! BUT Shhhhh! Don't anybody let deed compliance know about it!

Along with an expanded airport comes noise from more airplanes flying over you homes. Be careful what you wish for.

Just let mayor Daley from Chicago know. He like to tear down houses to build a bigger airport like at O'hare.
