Tampa, FL — If you've ever flown a small plane in Tampa, FL, you're probably familiar with Peter O'Knight airport.  It's a wonderful and small facility just minutes from downtown Tampa, Tampa General Hospital, and many cute shops and great restaurants.  And, talk about convenience, it is also walking distance to the Davis Islands Yacht Club.  Readers who don't fly might be interested to know that immediately next to Peter O'Knight, on property donated by the airport, is a small dog park with access to the Tampa Bay (yes, there actually is a bay called Tampa Bay).

Certainly, there are some who would rather the airport not be there and I appreciate their concerns.  But, having lived on Davis Islands for a long time, I have never been inconvenienced by its presence and think it is more of a positive for the community than a negative.  For those who do pilot planes, it is a terrific way to fly in and out of Tampa.

The airport is in the process of expanding its hangar facilities, which is good news for anyone who owns a plane and would like a great place to park it.  Even better, there is a wonderful luxury home for sale that is walking distance from the airport.  It's ideally located for those who like watching the occasional plane take off or land, and perfect for those who own a plane - all the benefits of a "Fly-In Community" with none of the hassles.  For more information on the airport and this beautiful luxury home, please CLICK HERE.
