JUDY REYNOLDS IS helping keep general aviation alive with the monthly fly-ins she hosts, May through October, at Turkey Mountain Airport (MO00), near Shell Knob, Missouri. "We bought the airport to preserve and promote general aviation," Reynolds said, "not as a money-making venture. But we've been successful at all three," she added, laughing. Although Reynolds's private airstrip isn't the longest in Missouri, it comes close, with 3,950 feet of level terrain tucked between the foothills of the Ozarks and the glistening waters of Table Rock Lake, and can comfortably accommodate the Beechcraft King Airs and other twins that occasionally fly in.
