Touchdown! Greaser!
Okay, kids, for, like, the fifth weekend in a row, I've just taken this phone call:
"Hi, I'm at the airport! Where's the van? And we'd like a room until Tuesday!"
You know the rest of the story. We've been sold out for a week, and there's no room at the inn.
Guys, we are here for YOU. As in NOT for all these "normal" people who don't fly airplanes, but keep reserving rooms ahead of time. They just keep beating y'all to the punch!
I KNOW it's fun to fly somewhere on the spur of the moment, and I know you're waiting to see how the weather is -- but, dang it, we will sell out every weekend from now through Thanksgiving, and you just can't land and expect us to have a car or a room for you.
Here we are, Fourth of July weekend, and for four beautiful VFR days we've had precisely TWO fly-in guests. All the rest have been ground-pounders. Kiwis. Boring, non-pilot types who have money to spend, but nothing to offer in the way of hangar flying and beer drinking!
Here's the sign out front tonight. Please call more than 20 minutes ahead!
