Just to let you know that 9 of our small Hungarian club are having fun on my little farm. We have 2 fixed wing (C-22, and Himax) and two trikes here. It took 13 hours drive with the trailer to transport the things here, but it worths.
Local trout, nomad life. Peaceful, quiet clean countriside, organic only produce, local bread. Wonderful landscape. Some bad weather forced us to visit one of the saltmines in Parajd. Lots of good beer , local spirit, wine. It seems all of us can tell endless flying stories, regardless how many hours we have in our logbooks.
Runway is 300m but from this 200 m is really usable for takeoff and landings.
Some local STOL flyers joined us for a beer-.  Ul flying is really embriotic stage here, so we have very high respect in the village. Kids coming to see us all the time and they are very happy to sit into one of the trikes or planes.

Nice photos of  your beautiful  countryside PK, looks like you  and  your  flying buddies have a good time together. Looks like those are fish in the frying pan, I can almost smell them cooking.  That aroma will  waft across the countryside, you know, that means more low level flyers will drop  in to check  you out.  Sort  of like bears finding honey.

What a cool day today !  In the morning we flew to the tallest Jesus statue/observatory in Eastern Europe. Its 15 min flight from us on a very cool countryside. We visited the neighbour farmer where we were welcomed with home made cookies and we saw how pine wood shingles are made.  Than we went to the local new church when I entertained all of the others some organ music. More flights for today. More plum brandy beer and food to keep everyone happy.
Thats the way to go.....
I hope one day you can visit me here.....
