This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

An "airport neighbourhood" where people can store their planes in their yard and taxi directly to the runway (lemmy.ml)

Why doesn't that runway have, like, lights and stuff. Or an ILS.

I can't imagine this being used for anything other than daylight VFR flying, which doesn't need radio guidance or even guidance in general beyond the airstrip itself. It's also possible that there are lights, and they're just too small to see when not lit.
