What is a Fly-In Community?
A fly-in community, can also be called an aviation community, but instead of having a main street as the main thoroughfare, you have a runway. This private runway allows the pilot to taxi their plane directly into their private hangar, which is attached to their house much like a garage. The homes in these communities are higher priced due to the amenities the fly-in community provides the consumer. However, with higher cost but more convenient for the home buyer this can actually save you money in the long run.

If yes, then not only are you saving money by using private flying, but you are removing your travel time, and the hassle of fighting through customs etc. Could you be completing work on the plane you could not other=wise have the privacy to do if you were flying commercial? If yes, then again you will be able to use your time wisely as well in private.
