Wellington may be known for its equestrian community, but it's also a hub for aviation enthusiasts.

I'm in the aero club community where your neighbor taking flight is not all that uncommon.

Is this as easy as I'm thinking it?

You wake up in the morning and you go, you know what?

I just want to go for a little ride, and you fire it up and you go out like you're taking your car out.

Is that as easy as it is?

Absolutely.

The aero club.

What's that all about?

We're in Wellington Aero Club, which is in the westernmost part of Wellington.

It's about 250 homes.

And what makes us unique is we have our runway right in the middle of our neighborhood, and we all have hangars with planes in them.

Now, most people in Wellington riding a horse, right.

They're doing the equestrian thing.

How does the airport come into come into play in Wellington?

Well, it's actually been here longer than the horse show, but in Aero Club we have quite a lot of families who are equestrians and aviators.

I came from the horse world and ended up.

You're a fighter pilot?

Yeah, absolutely.

You can be in the Bahamas in less than an hour.

So it gives traveling and vacations a whole different spin.

In my case, I fly every single day, sometimes multiple times a day.

Wait a second.

What do you really?

Yeah.

Where are you going?

Breakfast, lunch?

Yesterday I went to the beach.

This morning I went around the Everglades.

Are you.

Flying the helicopter.

There?

Yeah, yeah.

Usually what we do in the morning is we have a little chat amongst the community, and we'll send out a chat and said, who wants to go for breakfast?

And before you know it, there's.

Five helicopters take off.

Or four airplanes and a couple of helicopters.

Absolutely.

This is crazy talk.

It's all about the experience and the camaraderie.

We're a very tight knit social group, although we do welcome people to come and find out what it's all about.

Do you have a tower?

Does somebody like radio?

No, no, this is called a pilot-controlled airport.

What you're relying on, like, if you let me in, right?

Like, if you let me in and I get a place here, you're assuming I know what I'm doing.

If you're a pilot.

You know what you're doing.

Yeah.

Is that really, like.

Driving a car?

Yeah, absolutely.

What a fun way to live.

It's great.

Yeah, I love it.
