Actually I think he has lived on a boat in THIS life.

Paul & Louise have us beat. We have to walk 55' out the back door. It's Ann's fault. She wanted the hangar that far from the house.
 
I have to admit mine too is nearly 85' from the house to the hangar. But I have to drive 60 miles to work! ?!
 
I may not have the farthest but 52-miles one way is not that bad of a drive on the weekend when there is NO LA Basin traffic. 52-miles in 50-minutes when there is no traffic.
 
Depends on where I start from ...

If I'm in the kitchen, the plane is 8 feet on the other side of the door. It could be closer but wouldn't want anyone to hit the HS opening the door.

7.07 miles according to MapQuest

But I live directly under the upwind of the main-use runway. I get to see all kinds of traffic overhead. Really slowed down my build when I had to keep running out of the shop to see who was flying over!:D

I can relate ! (about 3 miles out and just off centerline of our local public field). I ran outside three times thus afternoon when I hear a round engine overhead. Navy helicopters were near by today also. Too many distractions :)
 
I am officially jealous of so many of you.

17 miles each way, but my commute to work is only 35 feet.
 
100 miles

Opps. That's how far my RV commute is to work, not the overland commute to the hanger (only 30' from the back door). I think you actually meant "How long is your commute to your RV"?
 
20 or so

20 miles away for the next couple of years or so. I'm on the waiting list for the airport 7 miles away, but it is a long wait. I put my name on the list almost exactly 2 years ago and I'm still #23. The guy on the top of the list put his name in on 9/17/07.

But Gary, what you're not telling them is when there is LA traffic its more like what, 3 hours! :eek: That alone could put you on the podium in this contest! ;)

Man, I want to live in a hangar...maybe someday! Currently its 17 miles each way. Only good news is, its the same 17 miles to the Reno Air Races. Then again, during the races I do live in my hangar! :D

Cheers,
Bob

The longest time was after work on the way to Van's Homecoming 5 or 6 years ago. It only took 2 hours and 45 minutes from my condo to the hangar. Officer involved shooting closed one of the freeways.
 
Our hangar is attached to the house. Our 4 year old granddaughter calls our house "grandma's house." When we asked her where grandpa lives, she said "in the hangar." Out of the mouths of babes! Clearly I spend too much time in there. :)
