- In Cameron Park California, there is a nice, seemingly normal suburban neighborhood. But there is something a little different about this particular neighborhood.

Here from Tom Scott's mailing list, incredible video
I wonder how I got on Tom Scott's mailing list. I had a large spike of views from 8am to 9am Pacific time this morning from "direct or unknown." It seems like it may be from his mailing list but now I wonder how that happened.
Thanks for watching and for shining a little light on the mystery of where those views came from.
@@LetUsTryThat Here's his write up about it, I think the newsletter is on his website as well:
"And this feels like a video from my early days: Let Us Try That visits a strange neighbourhood in Cameron Park, California that's a "fly-in community". I actually did ask to film at Cameron Park once, but never got any response from the folks there. My channel was far too established by that point to do this sort of simple just-passing-by visit (I'd have needed to actually land or take off, and I'd have needed to interview someone local!) so it's nice to see a video that tackles all the main points. I do miss making videos like this."
@@PabloAZ94 Wow! Thanks for sharing that. I'm blown away.
@@LetUsTryThat since he's taken a break/retired from his named channel he just a lad that points out interesting things now. you being on his list is just like someone saying "hey i saw this cool thing today take a look" but with a much larger reach then friend to friend
@@striderone7426 Yes, and I'm flattered and grateful to get a shout out from him. It's awesome.
Down the road in Placerville, they have streams running through the neighborhoods where you can just walk outside and pan for handfuls of gold. It's California baby!
Lived in nearby Citrus Heights, Folsom, and Lincoln 1974 - 1993. Haven't thought about Cameron Park in years. Thanks for the memory refresh! Really cool place ❤❤❤
One thing I remember from Cameron Park back in the day that is no longer their is Sam's Town. When I was little I lived in San Francisco and we used to stop by their if we were going to or coming from Lake Tahoe.

@LetUsTryThat Oh no! I'm so sad that Sam's Town is closed, too. Used to go there at least a couple of times a year for probably over 20 years. I loved the gypsy lady fortune teller in black lace in her glass case! I always said I wanted to buy her. And of course, anytime we went to San Francisco, we had to stop at the Nut Tree, and on the way home, Howard Johnson's (in Fairfield? Vallejo?) for the best clam strips on earth! I wonder if they are still open?
I’ve driven through this neighborhood and it’s super cool. Unfortunately, a lot of the houses are rundown and some of the homeowners get constant phone calls from the 70s wanting their houses back. Also, it’s kind of interesting some of the houses having converted into Mechanic shops, this is because most of the garages are two stories which are perfect for putting in a vehicle lift. But it’s definitely a neat neighborhood to drive through.
they also use the large streets for big annual car shows for the entire county, also during that event all the plane owners take their planes onto the street for everyone to come check them out, some are vintage, experimental, or from ww2, it's a really cool place.
I live 10 minutes up the hill from the airport and I love where I live. I live on 5 acres and there is a pond behind our house. There are a lot cheaper houses that are not directly in the airport air park. It’s a wonderful place to live. We have a lot of wildlife. And it is very, very beautiful!
5 acres there sounds fabulous. It is a beautiful place.
That's true your area is nice😊🎉 very happy for you, enjoy all the moments. I looked at that area decades ago.
every neighborhood is an airpark if you fly a bush plane
There's another similar neighborhood not far away in Sacramento that backs up to Executive Airport. Even though the planes don't share the road with cars, many of the houses have airplane garages and there are taxiways behind the houses that lead to the airport. Glen Ellen Circle and Cork Circle in Sacramento.
Ok, I have lived n El Dorado Hills for almost 20 years and have never heard of this neighborhood! I’ve driven by the airport dozens of times, see the planes in the sky all the time, but never knew there was such a unique living area. Cool. (edit: my husband just said he can’t believe Ive never heard of it so now I feel dumb 😂)
Don't feel dumb. I lived in Rocklin for many years and drove past that area plenty of times. It wasn't until I was delivering packages for Amazon and got sent to that neighborhood that I learned about it.
I’m from Roseville. I’ve never heard of it either. It’s awesome how you can ride your airplane from your house to the airport. Pretty cool.
Thats how I discovered this neighborhood as well. 😅@LetUsTryThat
Drove by the airport and never noticed the neighborhood? Check yourself.
Good stay in EDH u guys have your Richie Richie life
Used to visit Cameron Park pretty frequently between the 70s and early 90s. Then they closed up Sam's and I never went back. I really miss that place.
Very cool! I never knew that and I have driven up hwy50 many times!
I’ve landed at that airport ! I own a plane and live in Santa Barbara and have a cabin in Lake Tahoe. Never knew there was such a place that you can drive/taxi your airplane right from your house onto the runway and off ya go! Coolest thing ever !!!!
I'll bet you "invest" in real estate
@@Pens4Life85 yes. I did look at property in the AirPark. I do invest in property but I’m an accountant! lol.
Good don’t fly here please
You're a pilot and you don't know about airparks?
the "most replayed" sign at 1:40 is totally deserved shes a real beauty
My brother-in-law lived less than two miles from there for many years. We have been by that place many times and never knew about it. Loved the town, hated the state.
I understand. I left California and have lived in Nevada for the last 3 years.
Most of California is awesome except for SF/LA, politics, and taxes.
The neighborhood next to mine is an airpark. The front of the homes face a street and the back yard has runway frontage. Homes without direct access use hangers near-by. FAA LID: 5B6
There's a surprising number of "supercommuters" around the Folsom to Placerville area who work in SF and San Jose. The drive between Sac and the bay is almost always very busy in the morning, and the first trains of the day on the Capitol Corridor reach full capacity by the time the train leaves Davis. A family member of mine did administrative assistant work for a someone whose house overlooked the valley (El Dorado Hills) and flew out of Cameron Park to do just about everything, what a different life from the rest of us!
I've not landed at Cameron Park, but we've landed at half a dozen or so of these fly-in communities as part of the Go Fly America challenge. There's 1 at Trinity Lake, 2 West of Davis, 1 NW of Fresno not including private strips like Sea Ranch. And we landed at one in OR at Yamhill, and there's one on the NV-CA border near the place where you can rent a helicopter gunship. And there are likely others from the era of people thinking about flying cars.
I've only ever been to the one in Cameron Park CA but I think these neighborhoods are pretty cool and I would like to see another one somewhere else eventually.
@@LetUsTryThat The thing to do is find the FAA Sectionals and read where the public airports are (e.g., Trinity, the 2 near Davis, Fresno, maybe one near a lake on the way to Yosemite, etc.). Other than Trinity and Fresno, I can't recall the names of these places off the top of my head.
This place is located off I-50 after Folsom and El Dorado Hills about an hour or less from Sacramento Ca.
I remember being in one of these near the Owyhee Mountains back in Idaho. Really cool stuff!
The HOA says you can’t park your helicopter in front of the house. jk
Very interesting!
Heard about this neighborhood from the story of a man who murdered his wife. He was a pilot in the service & the family lived here.
Wow. I didn't hear about that part of it or I may have included it in the video.
I never knew that place was like that
Amazing
What a paradise!
Born and raised. I remember when one of the homes burnt down.
Wow so cool
There are lots of airpark neighborhoods like this around the country. The HOA fees are probably more than the mortgage.
No HOA. So no HOA fees.
@@rayshepherd2479 How do they maintain the large roads and all that? The city?
@@keithrickson8522 From the Internet they pay $900 per year per property to help maintain the roads.
That is so cool 😎
Have one of these neighborhoods 12 minutes away,, Awesome, no ATC for miles
The first time I saw this neighborhood was years ago. I never knew they existed but I was delivering a package and saw these things that were out of the ordinary. I thought it was really cool.
Very nice video, indeed kind of similar to what Tom used to make a looong time ago.
This sounds like a perfect place for Taylor Swift ;)
Jokes aside, it is a cool place and I wouldn't mind having the option to commute to work or even go fetch some groceries in a plane.
I wonder if there's a mall in the "area" that has an adjacent landing strip :)
Hmmm, the first thing I noticed was the lack of sidewalks.
Love It
Thank you.
You need to visit Fresno, California, we have one as well.
WOW 🤩 PRETTY COOL 😎
BEAUTIFUL PLACE 🏆
There are MANY of these aviation communities around the country, Calf. is one I would NEVER move to.
I didn't realize there were so many all over the place until recently. I don't blame you for never wanting to move to California. I was born and raised there but I left 3 years ago. We're in Nevada now.
I doubt the USSA govt would allow a town like this to be built again. Too much freedom.
I suspect you strongly value your "freedom" to lick lead painted walls.
If you want to park and keep ur aircraft by your side, this is the ONLY best place to go! Imagine a garage where a small airplane can park inside!
They have one of these in Independence, Oregon
See the comment from doesn'tmatter above. No on wants to live in Oregon
@@henrykaiser8809 Which is why I moved from there.😂
Their is a awesome car and plane show Saturday September 28th 2024 at the air field
-Their.. There 🤦♂️🫣
Those ducks nearby. Bird strike anyone?
Yeah, makes you wonder if an airstrip right next to a small lake is a good idea.
Cant imagine the lead levels in everyone's blood who live in that neighborhood.
Elaborate?
Tom Scott feature
I was blown away when I learned that I got a mention from Tom Scott in his newsletter. Super cool.
I wonder how many pounds of drugs run through??
Did you actually fly your drone over the Airpark houses? Maybe you should be reported to the FAA
It's a Trumpster, right?
Reminds me of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evergreen_Field Evergreen Airpark in Vancouver, Washington. People built all these expensive houses up against the airfield... they then sold the airfield land to become a shopping mall, leaving people with huge garages that opened up onto a chain link fence. One guy even has a plane permanently trapped in his back yard; I assume he couldn't fly it out before they built the fence.
Wow, this picture is wrong and this setup over time will eventually push out the people living in these neighborhoods first.
What aircraft is that at 1:49 facing the street? A Beechcraft? Maybe model 18?
I'm not sure what kind it is. Maybe some other people will see this video and this comment and let us know.
That's my best bet, a Beech 18.
Amelia Earhart has been hiding out here for decades...😀
