Does anyone know of any good pilot shops near Atlanta?
I'm based out of KAHN (Athens, GA.) My Dad is coming in tonight for
Thanksgiving and asked me to find a good pilot shop to which we can go. He'll have access to the 172 in which I fly so we can fly to get to one. I found the one at KPDK but I didn't know if there are any other good ones within an hour or two of flight time to which we can go. |

Aircraft Spruce East is located at Falcon Field in Peachtree City, GA and has a nice pilot shop. You can buy maps, headsets, t-shirts, foggles, GPS's, etc. The assortment of kitschy stuff is smaller than at the pilot shop at PDK, but the assortment of useful or educational items is far better. Aircraft Spruce is open until 4:00 on Saturdays, if I remember correctly. Regarding PDK, I don't enjoy going there. First, there is a ramp fee, even if you only park for 30 minutes. Second, PDK has the most extensive security practices I've seen at an airport without scheduled flights. It is worse than most small airports *with* scheduled flights. PDK also has the most expensive fuel (by far) I've ever seen. |

I can't see myself going there too often. We just parked near Epps and ate at The Downwind Lounge and then flew home. |
