Default Are People Still Flying As Much Around You?

Nope,
100 LL ! They do not have any other type available on the field. Amazing
since they have the old birds, but they also have 172 , 150 and an Archer .
Guess it's easier to just have one type of fuel. They keep their insurance
rates nile by having renters have their own policies. Maybe it's alot like
the medical industry ...insurance companies keep the prices outrageous?
Places here will not touch a taildragger because of THAT cost. So people
can't fly cheap, and most don't fly. MHO of course!

I fly. Really is a hard to beat price.


Maybe they're using car gas? Prices are down around here to $2.13/gallon.
That's about .15 above pre-Katrina prices.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your
neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
