Ten years ago, when we first moved into a hangar, we would return
from a flight, put the plane away, and flip a little red flapper up
on the door. Next time we came to the airport, the flapper was down,
the plane was fully
fueled, and we'd get a bill at the end of the month. God, I miss
those days...


How does it work now?


If you want fuel at your hangar, you call the FBO.


If I want fuel in a lightplane, I put it in myself or I pull it out and
watch the lineman do it.



Period.
