Airbnb for traveling pilots and/or enthusiasts could play well. Imagine being able to fly your little cessna or bonanza or whatever up to Victor, park it in a hanger and stay in the airbnb 2br/2ba in the back. Hangar full of pool tables, pingpong, planes, a helicopter, trampoline, whatever. Ski Jackson or Targhee with a short dive.

Here's a pic from yesterday morning. It's always exciting when one of these guys screams into the pattern.
So the airport is actually in Driggs, not Victor. I bought a piece of land for a hangar, and I'm finding the hangar part is a little more anonying than I had anticipated. A local steel company quoted me like $200k just for the slab and bare shell (50x50x24). I considered that a no-quote. Thankfully, the girlfriend is able to be my project engineer, so I'm doing a much cooler structure for way less money.

MEL/INST is a nice tool in the box, but I don’t have the passion.
FIL is a 10k Hour aviation nut. Hanger with apartment, PA-24 and every toy imaginable.
89 years old, still has medical.

Nice! And Warbirdies has a great happy hour, especially when one certain badass skier-chica is working. A client of our private car service is building a hanger in the Alpine airpark. Also has a house in the Sporting Club so likely has a different budget to work with...His pilot is stoked as he's going to build a tiny condo in it for him to use...Both pilots I've hauled from that airport were a bit sketched landing there, not a lot of Plan B's...
Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

I've got a few hours in a Husky flying around AK. Pretty incredible, and humbling to fly over massive mountains and glaciers in a flying lawn chair. Friend who owns the Husky has floats for it too. He uses it for hunting on islands around his home and straps the deer to the floats to fly them back home.

I’m a big fan of the Husky. It’s way more fun to fly than a 172. I did my first few wheel landings Thursday. Bringing the tail down on rollout is exciting when you’re holding aileron and rudder for a crosswind.
