Landing fees

[chevvron]

Never mind landing fees at Blackbushe, I've just discovered overnight parking is roughly 3 times what it costs at another local airfield (no not Farnborough dummy!)

I spent 30 years flying in the London area with all the hassles and costs that that entails and then I moved "Op North" and fly at Sleap with the Shropshire Aero Club.

What a revelation!

No controlled airspace
No yellow jacket b*****ks
No unnecessary rules and regulations
No officious members of "The Management"

Only helpful, courteous members of staff
Hard runways with night landing facilities
Easy going and yet professional atmosphere
Cheap flying and fuel
Excellent restaurant
Lovely part of the country
Common sense currency rules
Very reasonable landing fees
Did I mention no controlled airspace!!
Tremendous place, the best thing I ever did was to retire and fly at Sleap.

I taxied out one afternoon at JFK and found myself in the conga line behind a Cessna 172 (I was driving a DC-10). The Cessna 172 duly took off and I got the standard JFK departure clearance:

"Caution wake turbulence, you are cleared for take-off".

Cessna 172 - Wake Turbulence?

I used to own a RF3. I always asked for a 50% discount as I only had one mainwheel. It usually worked!

I tried that with my Falke once, jokingly, at an airfield where I was known as a regular visitor in it. 'No, you have four wheels' came the swift reply...
