I will second Roy's recommendation to fly into FRG. I'm based there and I
also take the Long Island Railroad into work every day from the Farmingdale
train station. If you do choose to go into FRG, price around the transient
tiedown costs. I believe Long Island Jet Center (631-843-9488) is cheaper
but check thier price against Atlantic Aviation (631-752-9022). I've taken
the LIRR/AirTrain combination and it's pretty good. However for a "couple of
weeks" you'll probably have a fair amount of baggage so the extra $$ you
spend on a car service/taxi may be worth it to avoid lugging your stuff
around the train. If/when you call the FBOs, ask for a recommendation on a
car service/taxi/shuttle to JFK.

Here's the train schedule: http://www.lirr.org/lirr/html/ttn/farmingd.htm.
When are you planning on flying in?


Thanks for all the info.

I would be comming in about April 17 and flying out about May 1. Don't believe
that flying the Archer makes sense but it might be fun to "fight" the NY
controllers.

I have found a good commercial flight into/outof LGA. How would it be to fly
into LGA (in the big iron) and then use ground transportation to JFK. I'm
guessing 1/2 hr trip between airports??? I'll probably stay over at one of the
JFK hotels comming back as the return flight gets in at 8PM on 4/30. Any
suggestions there?

Thanks again for everything,

Chuck
