The FAA uses '65KS' for Griffith Field Airport, Downs, Kansas

Mon, 16 Mar 2009

Cheapest fuel around SE Kansas. 3.00/gal for 100LL after Tax! they sell Auto also, 1.89.gal and Jet A 3.59/gal. The airport is under new managment. They now have wireless internet, and vending services. Has a "vintage" feel to it. The manager had said the possibility of having "Dawn Patrols" on the weekends in the future. If anybody has been to one they know they are a lot of fun!

Very quaint old-style country airstrip. Self serve fuel, friendly people. There is a Husky dealer (Wayne Clements) on the field. You can buy a nice house on the property close to the hangars or the strip.

There is a full-service FBO here. The airport is at the north edge of town, away from the complicated airspace around the other (12+?) airports at Wichita. Fuel is expensive, but they have lots of hangars in case of thunderstorms during an overnight stop. Lots of hotels with shuttles to pick you up.

As the name implies, this is where 172s, 182s, etc. start out their lives. It's only 2 miles from the rival Beech Factory Field (KBEC).

As the airport name suggests, this is where Bonanzas, Barons, etc. take off from the first time. It's only 2 miles from Cessna's home field (KCEA).

Stopped here enroute Arizona. There is a large Pilatus dealership on the field. We sat drinking our water while watching a private owner inspect his brand new Pilatus. Jealous? Me?

They had a BBQ going and we got free burgers - so we didn't feel too bad.
