Pre-Flight
I'll be in Chicago in early November for a professional meeting/visit my daughter trip. I'll be downtown for both. I'm flying commercial, but am planning to start making this trip in a C182 starting next spring.
I've been told that KDPA is a wonderful GA airport not too far from Chicago, but that it keeps me out of the Class Bravo craziness of O'Hare, and I'm thinking of going and taking a lesson with a CFI while I'm there to get a feel for the locale and the airspace.
Any recommendations for GA friendly airports in that area?
Similarly, I get to Denver at least 6 or 7 times a year for long weekends. Once downtown I don't need a vehicle. Any recommendations there? KAPA and KBJC both look promising. I'll be there in Early October, and may just look for a couple of hours with a CFI there too!
Doing my part to keep the starving CFIs of the world eating!
