The FAA just approved the addition of an airstrip to the Sandy Creek area of Brunswick county (Wilmington, N.C. area). Builders will start this project soon upon closing on the land and expect to have the runway and several hangars complete by August 2009. Pilots call me (Kathy Knight) and I will be happy to provide you with information if you are looking for hangar space or an airpark lot. Sandy Creek Airpark will be located at 3199 Maco Road, minutes from downtown Wilmington. Sandy Creek intends to offer more in the way of commercial and hangar space. By the completion of the project there will be a repair facility, fuel and restaurant at the location.

Residential Flying lots are available for $100,000. You can build a fly-in home in this community.

Editor’s note: here’s another in our planned series of stories describing state by state the airparks listed in the Living With Your Plane Directory. We started with Alaska and will tackle one state per issue unless there are a particularly low number of airparks in that particular state. In that case, we’ll try to do several states in the same story.

As always, we welcome your comments and ideas and of course, if your residential airpark isn’t listed or if you have information about other fly-in communities in the state for which we’re reporting, or any other state, let us know by filling in this form with the appropriate infomration.

Georgia counts 27 airparks with three of them currently in planning or under construction. The earliest state facility, Pinewood Airpark, opened in 1967 at Douglasville, GA.

The Kensington Lakes Residential Airpark (click here for sky view map) is early in the development stage, but “going fine”, according to Mr. Pressler.

If Kensington Lake becomes a reality, it will become just the second known residential airpark in Australia
