The World At Your Doorstep
Time
is our most precious commodity. Living in an aviation community affords you that
time. Commute times are for others. Business trips and family time can be
the same day. No value can be placed on the convenience of opening a hangar door
at your home and lifting off to your destination in moments. A
fortunate few will live and enjoy this precious commodity at Jumbolair Aviation Estates, home of the
largest licensed, paved and lighted, private airport in America

 Jumbolair
History
Jumbolair, once home to
three thousand crocodile, ninety eight
elephants, three white rhinos and a four hundred pound gorilla named Mickey is on
its way towards becoming the nation’s largest and most exclusive fly-in
community. Conceived
and built to be the perfect home and business center by Terri Jones and former husband Arthur Jones, the avant-garde inventor of Nautilus
exercise equipment. Situated in Ocala, Florida, it's rolling hills and sprawling oaks
frame its enormous 7,550' x 250' runway. The
three Boeing 707’s that Terri and Arthur once parked on the south end of the
runway seemed dwarfed by the huge ten acre paved parking pad. Jumbolair is rich in
history. Although originally owned by the Muriel Vanderbilt Adams, the legend of
Jumbolair really began with the eccentricity of Arthur Jones. Jumbolair has been
featured on such programs as 20/20, Lifestyles Of The Rich and Famous, The
Tonight Show, Good Morning America and NBC Nightly News.

Jumbolair Now
Jumbolair
is being developed by owner, Terri Jones-Thayer, an accomplished
pilot who is type rated in everything from a Citation to a 747. Terri’s plans
for the community were born out of her love for aviation and not a developers formula for profit. Jumbolair's 100' elevation and indigenous lime-rock
foundation keep runways dry in the worst
weather conditions. Its 7,550' x 210' wide runway is the largest private
residential runway in the country. Unlike
most fly-in communities, Jumbolair home
sites have separate roads and taxiways, so when you are taxiing, you won’t have
an accidental meeting with a repairman's truck. Jumbolair Aviation Estates, a private, gated
community will exceed your expectations with it's abundant natural beauty. |
