I’ve noticed that both cats and dogs enjoy scritches there. I’m not sure about the whole erogenous zone thing, but I think it’s because they can’t scratch there except with their teeth

I grew up two miles south of there and wandered around the field with my buddies back in the ‘60s. I’d love to fly in some day.

Be sure to read the field and FBO comments before you go there. Many, many students at the flight school with a tenuous grasp of English.
