BDR is a good little airport. There are only 2 FBO's now, 3-wing and
Atlantic Aviation. 3-wing I don't have any dealings with but I've
heard they are expensive. Atlantic caters more to the netjets types but
I've had very good service from them for my 100LL orders.

There are several approaches to the airport, the tower is open from
6:30am to 10pm and the AFSS is not far from the terminal building if you
want a walk up briefing.

I'd hate to see that area used for anything BUT an airport.

I live in the noise abatement area and from time to time people do fly
directly over the houses which they are told not to do and do it anyway.

The majority of my neighbors don't like the airplane noise but I think
it has more to do with the Gulfstream III's taking off at 5:30am and
rattling windows than the quiet drone of the 4 cylinder lycoming doing
touch and goes.

Those neighbors of mine that aren't completely closed minded about the
airport I take flying with me and make converts out of them. There are
an awful lot of neighbors though and so little time.

OK, I just replooked at the sectional. There is a class D for KJSD,
but it is not easy to spot on the sectional and abuts the class for
BDR. That's tough!
BDR is not a great field, and the FBO's are not very friendly.
