Life on the runway

There is a place in the desert of Arizona where people live on runways instead of driveways. They have hangars instead of garages. They fly to breakfast not long after the sun rises and gather on plastic chairs in the shade, beer in hand, to talk about it all when the sun sets. It is an oasis for airplane lovers. I spent 48 hours with a group of flight-minded retirees living the dream in the Arizona desert.
