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.</p> <p>Billy Broadley</p> http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=620 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 22:15:29 -0400 http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=620 <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=619 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 22:10:02 -0400 http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=619 <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=618 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 22:03:12 -0400 http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=618 <p>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.</p> http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=615 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 08:41:04 -0400 http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=615 <p>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.</p> http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=530 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 21:25:51 -0400 http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=530 <p>haven't had the pleasure of visiting here yet but there's a great show scheduled for 8 Sep 2007 .. classic radials, fancy cars and lots of fun.</p> http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=405 Fri, 27 Jul 2007 01:12:13 -0400 http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=405 <p>First time I ever saw tumbleweed caught in a snowbank.</p>
