So you fly to a small airfield, and take a courtesy car or something to the
actual job site, or what? *I can see where it might be practical if there's a
field very close to the airport and you have ground transportation readily
avialable and the distance involved is substantial (a few hundred miles), but
it seems you'd need a certain amount of luck to have airfields close enough to
arbitrarily located job sites to be able to gain from flying--although the
longer the distance to the job site (or the shorter the ride from the field),
the more practical this would probably be.

Most of my destinations are medium sized cities. Most airports other
than very small and remote ones will have rental cars available. Often
Enterprise will deliver a rental car to an airport or in some smaller
towns a car dealer will. Browse through the airports on http://www.airnav.com/
and you'll see most have something available. Earlier this year we
flew to Mobile, Alabama, took a $12 taxi ride to the cruise terminal,
and got on a cruise to Cozumel. Can't get much more convenient than
that.

Because we fly, we envy no one.
