Is Green State GA friendly?


Depends on your definition of friendly.

I've flown there a few times over the past few years. I haven't been there in
over a year, tho. It's a Class C airport, so it's got the Leather, Oak, and
Polish look instead of the "Guy behind the glass counter" look that you find
at smaller airports. Class C's (especially airline overflows for Logan)
typically charge a premium for services, so don't expect a free ride.

But if you're OK with paying a few dollars for parking, and don't mind that
the person behind the counter is a "Receptionist" instead of the store owner
or chief instructor, you'll probably be satisfied with your experience.

For what it's worth, the price to pay to park my plane for the day in PVD is
substantially less than the price to park my car in Manhattan for a day, and
the facility in PVD is nicer and gives you free coffee and I think popcorn
IIRC.

In Manhattan, the only thing I get for free is the finger.
