Touchdown! Greaser!
My dad will be visiting in a few months and I've been trying to plan a sightseeing flight for him.
I'd like to take him out over our former hometown about 30nm away.
The problem is that it lies close under Kansas City B airspace. Local elevation is about 1000 MSL, overhanging B above the town starts at 2400 MSL. I don't want to putter around at < 1400AGL over population. The transition from the 2400 floor to the 3000 floor is directly over the town. East side of town is underneath 2400, west side is underneath 3000.
KC is usually very accommodating to requests for transition, but how do you ask to just 'hang out'?
(And, yes, I'll be asking the same question at my FBO.)
Thanks,
Matt
