Jumbolair Aviation Estates

You just got out of your afternoon meetings in Chicago. You live in Florida and you promised your son you would be home in time for his game. No problem, your private plane is fueled and ready for takeoff. In a few hours you will be landing in your own back yard and pulling your plane into the hangar attached to your home. You’re one of a fortunate few who live at Jumbolair Aviation Estates, home of the world’s largest, FAA licensed, lighted and paved, private airport.

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. Jumbolair was conceived and built to be the perfect home and business center by Terri Jones and her former husband Arthur Jones, the avant-garde inventor of Nautilus exercise equipment. Situated in Ocala, Florida, Jumbolair’s rolling hills and sprawling oaks almost seem in direct contrast to its enormous 7,550-foot runway. And if it’s colossal length seems a little excessive, its width is almost confounding. The three Boeing 707s that Terri and Arthur once parked on the north 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 is being developed by owner, Terri Jones, 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 developer’s formula for profit. Jumbolair’s 100′ elevation and indigenous lime-rock foundation keep runways dry in the worst weather conditions. It’s massive runway can accommodate virtually any size aircraft. Unlike many 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, a private, gated community will exceed your expectations with it’s lush landscaping and abundant natural beauty.
