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

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.

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

Tue, 24 Jul 2007 15:44:41 -0400

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.
