It\'s a surprise to no one that the most common conversations in aviation, center on people and planes.\\xa0 And why not... it makes for great hangar flying.\\xa0 This week, Al and Marc were reminded of another very important aspect of aviation... The Airport.\\xa0 We\'re not talking about the runways, but how the airport serves as a hub for bringing people and planes together.\\xa0 Airports have personalities that are born out of the stories and the people who make them happen.\\xa0 This week, the SimpleFlight crew visited a shining example of the perfection that happens when it all comes together.

Poplar Grove Airport (C77) is a very special place.\\xa0 It\'s not because of chance, but rather the owners of the airport, Steve and Tina Thomas, designed it that way.\\xa0 They built a culture years ago, which they protect, strengthen, and live\\xa0 7\\xa0x 24 x 365.\\xa0 After a tour of the field, which was too short for their liking, the guys had a chance to sit down with Steve and Tina and talk about how they make the magic happen.

When you listen to this week\'s show, you may hear about a flight school, a maintenance shop, a museum, and an air-park, but what you\'ll feel and\\xa0think about is the history, the passion, and a very special community.\\xa0 You can read about Poplar Grove on their website:(www.poplargroveairmotive.com), but\\xa0if you ever in the Midwest, drop by C77 and say hi to Steve and Tina (and the dogs).\\xa0 You may never want to leave.

As always, we love hearing from you and ask you share your ideas with the entire SimpleFlight Facebook and Instagram community\\xa0\\xa0@simpleflightradio
