Own airstrip
I am planning to buy land and put an airstrip on it and a hanger. pls does anyone have an idea of how much land would be required for a 3000 ft runway and enough room for a taxiway and hanger. I am guessing it would be like 40 acres but I could be wrong. My intention is to register it as a private airport and allow people to land and tie down if they visit the bay area and would like an alternative to Hayward Executive or Half Moon bay etc.
The location in plan is Los Gatos, CA being just 10-15 miles from San Jose.
Any input about expenses and other issues with throwing an airstrip, allowing GA planes to land etc will be very helpful.
Honestly, I did rather live in a shack with an airstrip on it, rather than a fancy home with a 30 minute drive to the airport and heavy hangar rentals etc.
All comments welcome!
