My wife and I was there last June for a three day week-end and they treated
us very nice. Sure we had to pay for 2 nights tiedown, the thrid one was
free because we bought fuel. If I remember right it was around 2.65/gal,
really not a big deal. Also when they park the plane they put a pad lock on
the tie-down chain. What disappointed me was the hotel would not pick us
up there, we had to be at the main terminal across the field in order to get
picked up, so we just got a taxi. This year we have picked a different
hotel. All part of the cost of flying and it is worth it, what a beautiful
flight and such a good time at the Reno EuroFest at the Rail City, which is
not where we stayed. Some really good German beer, even made me get out and
dance, did I mention the good looking lady"s.

Sorry for the rant.
I just flew into Reno tonight.
As it turns out, Sierra Air Center, the only GA facility on the ramp that
doesn't charge a ramp fee, now charges a $15 parking fee.
Yup, as of Jan 1 there's no more free landing at Reno.
What makes it worse is they said, "There's no fee if you get 15 gallons of
fuel".
That sounded OK to me. I was almost full anyway.
18 gallons of fuel at $3.73 a gallon!
It would have been cheaper if I filled up in Minden and paid the $15
parking
fee.
It's only $2.80/gal in Minden!
I felt violated!

Man, I'm bummed.
I liked to fly into Reno, get some lunch/dinner, practice in class C, etc.
No more.
