Using the magenta circles by Ace Pilot
A friend recently asked me to explain the magenta circles seen around numerous airports on sectionals. It got me to thinking about how useful they are.

SACRAMENTO - SAC or SMF by Jeff
on the 9th we are flying into the Sacramento, California area, I havn't made up my mind which airport to use, SAC or SMF. Anyone here familiar with the area and is either better then the other for GA ? I am leaning towards SAC because of the cross runways and looks to be a good GA airport.
