Pattern Altitude
Hey DFW-area people,
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the powers-that-be at the museum to allow me to bring the raffle plane all the way to Gaston's next weekend, but instead I'll be taking it to Gainesville, TX for the Antique Airplane Association Fly-In. I'm heading up to KGLE on Friday, 6/12 and will be there for Saturday, 6/13 as well.
Here's the kicker... my better half was planning a trip to visit her best friend in Frisco that weekend too, and I got permission to take her along with me. So, this is where your input comes in. Her best friend works close to KDAL, so that would be the preferred airport to pick her up at. Is there any FBO there that either does not have a ramp fee or is at least reasonably affordable? Are there Landing Fees at KDAL? Is there a nearby alternative where I could drop her off at no charge?
So here's the other side of the equation - the fly-in ends on Saturday, so I'll need a hangar space to store the plane on Saturday night near Frisco so that we can return on Sunday. It appears that KTKI or T31 would be the closest places. Does anyone here have hangar space where a 172 can be stored on the night of Saturday, June 13? Does anyone here know of a place that would be willing to donate hangar space for the night to a non-profit organization?
I appreciate anyone's help.
