It was a beautiful day out today, and a lot of people were out flying, so I thought I spend the day taking pictures!

I see you can buy a new home at Leeward Air Ranch for around $400,000.00, what other fees are there.

There is a runway use fee, but that's about it. If you're really interested, email my dad at
djl07@leewardairranch.com and he can send you a information packet. His name is Dirk Leeward.

Great stuff, esp. the sporty red Champ. Not a bad setup you have there- don't ever take it for granted, even for a minute, or a bunch of us will have to come down there and smack you.

Wow, I had no idea you were Dirk Leeward's son. Have you done any air racing in Reno?

No, I'm only 18, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night! ;D
I've never air raced (though I want to), but I have been to Reno a couple times. I think you're thinking of my grandfather, Jimmy Leeward. My dad has only raced one year, 1986.
