Are you wanting to do two 2,000nm legs in a single trip/day, single pilot? That sounds beyond exhausting especially considering how many time zones you're going to cross doing that trip. In a Conquest II with no wind you're looking at something like 12 hours of flying not including the stop.

I also flew into NBAA at HND. I didn't decide to fly until a couple weeks before and ended up on the wait list but with a spot at VGT, was glad when HND called the day we left and said they had room for us. I was NOT happy when we got lasered on short final that night. Worst laser incident I've...

Something else that we should consider as members of the aviation community is once you give up one airport, it's easier for them to take more. Give an inch, take a mile.

Maybe there are airports that "deserve" it more. But it isn't a "this or that" goes situation, so why would we sit back and let it close? It is used in the community, it could be used more if they added fuel and could be more self sufficient. Why don't we think of ways to keep an airport rather...

As someone who owns a business and a home in SD, I am happy some of my tax dollars go towards 3V0. At least it’s a good use of the aeronautics fund, unlike the 100 million dollar dream airline terminal being proposed for an airport that gets like 11 flights a day.

I had never heard of them before, I will send an inquiry. Thank you everyone for submitting. I like to think anything helps in situations like these.

Hi all, Game, Fish and Parks is seeking public comments on closing Custer State Park airport (3V0) in Western South Dakota. If you can, please take a moment to fill this out and OPPOSE this. The airport is extremely valuable to our community, it is a wonderful place for both training and...

It seems like you're a pretty good storyteller yourself. Thanks for sharing, and painting the picture of the circumstances. It warms my heart to see airplanes out doing airplane adventures... bonus points for tip tanks in every photo.

For anyone who wants to see the runway study it's on this agenda https://www.jeffco.us/DocumentCenter/View/38775/AAB-Agenda_2023-04-05?bidId= I can't find the agenda for the June meeting, or minutes from March-June. I would assume one would request a copy of the recording though. Here's the...

I would carefully read your lease line by line and see what your responsibilities are and the consequences for not meeting them. I would recommend doing that each and every time you re-sign a lease even if it's just an extension. I would also at a minimum read the airport board agendas and...

I know I'm late to this but I wouldn't recommend the airport, there isn't a whole lot going on and no real restaurant except the terminal where they charge and outrageous amount to park a vehicle. No restaurants at 49B or SPF, either :( Lots of good places in town though! Ya'll need to PM me...

I am leaving tomorrow, but will be back next weekend for about a week. Lots and back of forth this time of year. KRAP KRAP KRAP! Don't forget to pick up your merch, everyone :)

Thanks, Ari!
