This schedule means we have to be
leaving whatever motel we end up in around 5:00 am. So we were
wondering, is anybody up that early in the smaller towns to give a
lift to the airport?? How do you dawn patrol types get to the airport
early?


We face this problem almost daily.

Solution: We give the pilot the keys to our courtesy van the night before.
They drive themselves over to the FBO (it's all of 1/10th of a mile) and
leave the van there.

Often we'll get another pilot flying in later the same day -- and they bring
the van back!

Since when does THAT have anything to do with where we fly?

It doesn't make any sense for me to fly to Janesville, WI for an omelet,
either.

Janesville has omelets? I thought they only had the "best burger in town"
to paraphrase the menu. I suspect it's the only hamburger in town. :-)

Actually, they have great breakfast, and they serve it till 2 PM -- a big
plus for us.
