He and Johnny decided to go in together on a Cessna When Johnny decided to sell the airfield, Dan had another idea; how about the two of them develop it into a fly-in community? Now, a quick word about that. Fly-in communities, also known as residential airparks are airfields around which homes and sometimes private hangars are situated. Airparks can be big, like the hundred acre Spruce Creek near Daytona Beach, Florida and they can be small.

But what the airpark lacks in size it more than makes up for in friendliness and versatility. It is an airport, sure. A lovely orange cat circled at my legs obliviously. Soon Dan arrived and insisted I try two of his many gadgets; an electric bike and a Segway. Joe had no idea I was coming.

In fact, he was in his car leaving for a meeting of the Quiet Birdmen when Dan made introductions. A bright-red, two-seat contraption with an eagle sporting wings of flame, sat in the shade looking very much like a helicopter had landed on the head of a hot rod bike. This, Joe told me was his fun machine, a Aviomania GS2. The gyroplane takes off like an airplane and can fly up to miles per hour.

But it can also hover.

Thrust comes from a six-foot propeller aft of the seat which is driven by the engine. All this Joe explained to me as he pulled the machine out onto the grass, rumbled down the field and took me up above the Florida scrubland. One does not have to get too high in a state as flat as Florida to see a long way off. Still, as we flew at feet, with Joe pointing out the creeks where the alligators gather and the only horizontal element of the landscape — the Kennedy Space Center Complex, I felt more like a flying creature than a creature in a flying machine.

Back on the ground, I returned to Danville, not yet having laid eyes on the Man Cave that would be my room for the night. But Dan still had things for me to see. He took me on a tour of his never-quite-finished getaway.

Too soon, my tour came to an end and at last I was free to wander among the aviation-memorabilia, Dan has meticulously assembled in the Man Cave attached to his overloaded hangar. I swung in the basket chair suspended from the ceiling congested with model airplanes.

I explored the bookshelves and true confession; wedged a flyer for my book, The Crash Detectives in among them. I had my dinner at the bar made from an airplane tip tank and wandered over to happy hour which Dan throws each night for his guests.
