Selling my airplane

You folks that have cheap fuel, good mechanics or good hangar deals

We do every day... 3R7 ($660 a year, $35 hour labor, currently $3.90 but I
fly on mogas, currently $2.00)

Though I live on the approach to 16 @ 4R7. City council (4R7) just gave
approval to seek funding from the FAA for new jet hanger and 6 to 8 t-
hangers (currently $75 a month). Apparently they are paying 100% of the
costs, with no contributions from the state or locals...

3R7 receives property rental income to the tune of $40k to $60k a month
(hotel, Waffle House, Wendy's, truckstop, bank, used car lot, etc.)...

Where is this Shangra-La known as 3R7?

Jennings, LA... Currently 13/31 is closed due to relighting and new
approach light installation. 8/26 is due for relighting next year with
approach lights being installed. Also has a grass strip 17/35. 2 fuel
providers, one self-serve and the other full service...

Also a ramp to access the Holiday Inn. Every year that site is host to a
good sized Stearman flyin. Last year they didn't allow public access to
the tie down area... Kinda bummed alot of people... Course if you taxi
over in your plane, they can't kick you out... ;-)

KOPL has been selling their 100ll for $3.19 ever since they got their
fuel system last year...

Damn. We paid $4.67 per gallon at Spirit of St. Louis (KSUS) this
morning. And the price was going up another dime as we left.

You guys that are stuck with rip-off FBOs like that have my deepest
sympathy. Thank God for mogas!

And just how do you support the FBO's at the airports you visit and
whose courtesy cars you freely use? ;-))

I always fill the courtesy car's tank -- and (on trips, like our
weekend flight to St. Louis) I have little choice but to top off
Atlas' tanks with that nasty ol' blue crap.

Trust me -- I buy more avgas annually than I want to, simply because
airports refuse to sell the fuel my engine prefers.
