1L0 (St. John the Baptist Parish airport in Reserve, LA) is where I keep
my Cherokee 180. Very easy arrivals and departures, non controlled
field, has VOR and GPS approaches if IFR. Fuel prices are some of the
cheapest around. Rick Moran is the manager at the airport (985-536-1999)
and I believe the minimal overnight tie down fees are still waved if
fuel is purchase.

Security has never been a problem in the 10 years I have been at 1L0,
The airport is fenced in and just installed a keypad electric gate for
automotive access to the ramp. The Airport is also regularly patrolled
by the Sheriffs department.

I'm planning on flying to New Orleans over the Labor Day weekend
to visit some family and wondered if anyone had any pireps about
which airport/FBO is recommended. Seems like the choice is limited
to KNEW, KMSY or 1L0. I've made a few phone calls to check out
prices etc. but wondered if anyone has any direct experience?

KMSY seems expensive (landing fees, paking $$$ and high fuel $$)
while 1LO has great fuel prices and low parking fee but I wonder
about security for my airplane parked for a couple of days.

Any input from you fellas that have experience in and out of there
would be greatly appreciated. I have a Comanche 250 and will be
coming over from Georgia.

Thanks,
