Comment by @Komatoast on Centennial Airport, United States:

This is a great place -- fly in park right in front on the ramp. Sometimes busy --- but fabulous airport eat place. Decent prices; free aircraft parking. My favorite is their wings club sandwich.

Hi Tony

Did you work with Craftsmen Electrics in Sydney in 1989 as i think i might know you. I am across from Scotland visiting my brothers in Newcastle (Don) and Sydney (Jim). If you are who I think you are it would be great to catch up.

[KMTJ] "Long Runways" by Tony

Comment by @Tony on Montrose Regional Airport, United States:

During the summer, the density altitude is over 10,000 ft and the runways are extra long - I made the mistake of landing on 17 and had to taxi two miles to the FBO.

Lots of executive jets and charters fly in here during the ski season. During the summer, there is less traffic and rates are better at the FBO.

Comment by @Tony on Gunnison Crested Butte Regional Airport, United States:

Landed here in the Husky just to take a break and stretch my legs. Didn't buy fuel or souvenirs, but the staff made me feel welcome. Lent me the courtesy car to have a look at the downtown. The FBO manager and I sat on the porch and discussed flying and life in general.

There is a crosswind runway here, it is grass/gravel and hard to see. Actually, it is easier to see here on Google Earth than in the afternoon sunlight.

Comment by @Tony on Lake County Airport, United States:

North America's highest airport - land here, buy the Tee shirt, get the certificate. Check the weather before you proceed, the mountains on both sides of the valley here exceed 14,000 Ft.

[KPUB] "Good FBO but cheaper self-serve fuel (Texaco)" by Tony

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 08:41:04 -0400

Comment by @Tony on Pueblo Memorial Airport, United States:

There is a small self-serve fuel stand at the western end of the ramp. I needed to get a car, hotel, washrooms, etc so I taxied to the Flowers FBO. It was late and they were a little disorganized because of an airshow that weekend, but they came and towed my taildragger to a better spot after I unloaded my gear. They gave me their well-published 40 cent discount on the fuel, so it was competitive with the self-serve fuel.
