Country:  | Cable airport is owned and operated by the Cable family, hence the name. It is the largest family-owned and operated public-use airport in the world. You can read about their history starting here: Cable Airport History - Cable Airport

Country: | Yes, that was pretty funny. When they first pulled that out, I thought "that will never fly". They proved me wrong! Although I would say that it is not something for a novice. It's pretty tail heavy. I wish they had flown that with the ugly stick plane painted up in German WWI markings. That would have been really funny.
