Mogollan Airpark’s recent fly-in breakfast received a short write-up and photo in The Payson Roundup.

Bernhard Rouschal sent me an email to announce that an English version of the website for Muritz Airpark is now online. Bernhard notes this is Germany’s first residential airpark, and lots will be on sale in two months. Best of luck Bernhard. Keep us posted on progress.

A reader from Idaho called a few days ago wondering about future airpark liability when it comes to newly enacted legislation in Idaho. Following is a follow up email he sent seeking clarification. Post your comments below if you have insight:

Idaho has enacted a statute Recreational Trepass – Landholder Liability Limited. We are trying to make sure it applies to us regarding liability when planes do fly in for visits. It says the purpose of the statute is to make land, airstrips and water areas available to the public without charge for recreational purposes by limiting their liability toward persons entering thereon for such purposes. It is under Title 36, Fish and Game, Chapter 16. Have you heard anything about this? We understand Kansas has also passed a similar statue. Would you have any info on this?

The following is from Dan in Nevada. Any suggestions? Post them in the comments area below:

I am a lender who received through a default an airpark in the Reno, NV area. I have been trying unsuccessfully for several months to find a local real estate agent with the expertise to market this project. Can you recommend to me a resource?

We are a mixed bunch at Brady Landing Airpark.  No rich, fat cats living here.  Only one guy is retired.  The rest of us put in 60-80 hours each week at jobs ranging from construction manager to software and mechanical engineers to inspecting merchant ships worldwide.  Me, I’m just a teacher.  My wife and I operate a small consulting firm that teaches systems engineering and Project Dominance (basically Project Management on steroids).  When the weather lets me, I take our old 182 Skylane to my teaching jobs along the East Coast.
