Frank Henry stands next to the anti-aircraft gun on his property that is dotted with hedgerows, plantings of native grasses and birdhouses, all in an effort to promote wildlife-friendly practices, in Winnabow on Monday, Feb. 13, 2012.

“Winnabow International Airport,” reads the sign on the chain-link fence off Greenhill Road, just a little west of Winnabow. “Airplanes have right of way.”
That's a joke, but it's not that far off the truth. Frank P. Henry's driveway really is an operational air strip, noted on aeronautical charts and designated 77NC by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Where most country homes would have an old garage, Henry has a hangar with a well-kept single-engine plane parked and ready to go.
