[KEQA] "Cheap Gas, Great Service, Under New Managment!" by Flyguy80

Comment by @Flyguy80 on Captain Jack Thomas El Dorado Airport, United States:

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!

[1K1] "Nice Little Place!" by Tony

Comment by @Tony on Lloyd Stearman Field, United States:

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.

[KAAO] "Good Fuel Stop at Wichita" by Tony

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 17:49:53 -0500

Comment by @Tony on Colonel James Jabara Airport, United States:

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.

[KCEA] "Home of Cessna" by david

Comment by @david on Cessna Acft Field, United States:

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).

[KOJC] "Pick Up Your New Pilatus PC-12" by Tony

Comment by @Tony on Johnson County Executive Airport, United States:

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.
