Art,

Have you not flown into Addison or Love Field in the 172RG. You are
close to buildings there. Anyway, you will be contacting Ok City
Approach and they will be assisting you. We fly to Norman often for
breakfast. 3000' is not short for a 172.

Since this is my first time into the area and because of the close proximity
to the downtown buildings and the Will Rogers Class C SFC area, and my being
unfamilar with the field and the lack of VGSI on the field, 3240 ft., while
normally accptable, I believe falls below my personal minimums this time
around.

Runway too short? Airnav lists the runway at 2DT as 3240 ft.

I am planning on flying to Oklahoma City next week on business for a

couple
of days and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on which
airport would be best. I have narrowed my choices down to the following:

Downtown Airpark (2DT)
Wiley Post (PWA)
Sundance Airpark (HSD)

I'll be flying a Cessna 172RG and the client I'll be visiting is about
4-5
city blocks away from 2DT so , while it may be an obvious choice, I'm
concerned about the short runway, landing/parking/overnight tiedown fees,
and the close proximity to the downtown area and buildings.

Any thoughts or recommendations on the three choices I listed would be
greatly appreciated.
