[K05C] "05C - Griffith-Merrillville - Mexican Food on Airport" by airbound

Tue, 10 May 2011 17:16:57 -0400

Comment by @airbound on Griffith-Merrillville Airport, United States:

Great place for both 100LL and Human Fuel (on airport Mexican cafe).

If you're there at night during late summer, watch out for mosquitoes - they are huge and have a big appetite (I had quite the cabin cleanup after smashing a dozen or so).

[KUMP] "History of Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport" by Anonymous Flier

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport, United States:

The airport was built by a farmer on his farm in 1960. He ran a fixed base operation, including a flight school and a Piper dealership. He fought battles over zoning, neighbor complaints, and the city of Indianapolis wanting to take over ownership, which they did in 1967. Read the history in 175 pages and over 200 photos. Available on Lulu.com.

[KEVV] "Excellent Airport" by Anonymous Flier

Fri, 14 Jan 2011 22:19:33 -0500

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Evansville Regional Airport, United States:

Great runway options, excellent approach/departure and tower personnel, smooth ground operation, plenty of nearby hotels (great Marriott but many other options too). Fuel prices tend to run high on 100LL. Ramp personnel are friendly, skilled, and helpful. I currently hanger there. Have also done training there, MSN, and PDK; EVV is a great beginner and low stress class C refresher location but a little sleepy for advance traffic work. Also doesn't have anything in the way of higher performance or multi-engine training aircraft available. Community is worth the stop too; don't think Indiana corn fields but rather more Ohio River Valley hardwood forest area (big high-end furniture area).

[KMIE] "Kacy J's" by rw2

Comment by @rw2 on Delaware County Johnson Field, United States:

The restaurant is reopened and the new people couldn't be nicer. Took some family up flightseeing and the owners even brought out a portable so that those on the ground could listen to the exchange with the tower.

Comment by @david on Clark Regional Airport, United States:

The Clark Regional Airport's board has voted to levy a landing fee on all transient aircraft -- the story says it will be about $25 (!!), but does not mention if different fees will apply to different sizes of planes:

[KBMG] "Nice, friendly Class D airport" by Warrior481

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 10:55:41 -0400

Comment by @Warrior481 on Monroe County Airport, United States:

Bloomington has a terrific towered GA airport. There are two FBOs on the field. When we stopped in 2005, we used BMG. Because of thunderstorms along our intended route of flight, we stayed the night at the airport. BMG has a "cabin" at the foot of the control tower that was made available to us for $60 a night. It was a well-appointed modular home with internet access and computer, a full kitchen and laundry room (both stocked with basic supplies), a comfy living room with a television and several movies available on VHS and DVD. Plus, they gave us keys to a courtesy car overnight. As graduates of Indiana University, we used the car to venture into town to visit one of our favorite restaurants that we missed since moving away (there's a great selection of little ethnic restaurants in the area defined by Kirkwood Ave, 4th Street, Dunn, and Grant). Bloomington is a great stop.

[3FK] "Home Sweet home!!!!!!!!!" by Anonymous Flier

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Franklin Flying Field, United States:

This is my home airport, not to busy and not so empty that it makes you sad. There is flight training on the field and also a jump school. Avg as only, but who would lad a jet on 2300' of runway anyway? Come on down to 3fk and see us sometime.
