Weakly's Field

The other day I met a really neat guy. His name is Dale Weakly. As a kid he had a dream of being a pilot an he stuck with his dream as he grew up. In 1975 he bought 17 acres of tree covered land in the country. Dale had the dream to build an airstrip so he could fly his yet to be bought airplane in his back yard. For the last 3o years Dale has been carving, digging and shaping the land into a 36oo foot long grass runway. Here is a man that knows how to stick with a dream and make it happen. I did a story about Dale and went for a fun airplane ride as well. Check out the story here.
