Hey guys (and girls),
I've been lurking on here on and off since I got my private in September of last year, but haven't replied to anything or started a new thread, so if this would go better in another area, please tell me.
Like I said, I've been flying as a private pilot since September of last year, and have around 110 hours so far, but most of my x-c hours are to and from about 6 airports within 70 nm of my home airport. My mom lives in Wichita, Kansas and I live in the Dallas area, and I'm planning on flying from my home airport (KTKI) to Wichita on the 20th and coming back on the 22nd of this month, and was wondering if anybody had any suggestions as to which airport it should land at? I've been strongly considering going to KICT, because I figured if I had to mess with being in/around their class C, I might as well land there AND their fuel is cheaper than most other places. I'm going to call them tomorrow morning and see if they have any over night fees/landing fees, and if they do, I'll probably go to KAAO.
If I can make it, this will be my first overnight trip (I've planned on two others, but they got cancelled due to weather), so keeping that in mind I was wondering if any of you more experienced aviators had any tips about Wichita specifically, but also overnight trips in general.
Thanks!
