Default British Airways flies planes empty because it lacks flight attendants

I flew into PWK a couple years back with an instructor when I was
working on my Instrument (which I finally abandoned due to lack of
time). There was a landing fee unless I got fuel, since the FBO that I
rent from reimbursed me I got the fuel. I *think* we stopped at
Ratheon but it has been to long. It was the coolest flight I had ever
been on. Flew from MQJ IFR to PWK. Went right along the lake front
inbound and then right over the top of O'Hare coming back. Only took
one hour to get back with GS of up to 200 in a 182!



It looks like you got hit with a ramp fee from the FBO rather than a
landing fee. Most of the time if the fee is waived for fuel purchase, it's
the FBO's ramp fee that is being waived. Airnav.com does not indicate a
landing fee at PWK, nor does the airport's own web pages.
