Seeking Gadsden Alabama/KGAD Information
Mom's Airline/Mom's Individual Air Charter, an occassionally unscheduled
carrier will be flying to Gadsden AL (KGAD) this week. New charts and pubs have been purchased and reviewed. Last time I was there was 20+ years ago. Any recent information from those living in the vicinity would be appreciated. I went to AirNav and reviewed the supplied comments. I plan to leave Columbus OH NLT 0630 Saturday morning. I will be IFR direct (/G) with a no-wind flight time of 3 hours each way. I have to be back in Columbus to coach a soccer game at 1415, so this will be a quick turn. Is there anywhere close to grab a fast breakfast? Forecast winds and weather are looking good at this time. How much skydiving activity is there on the weekends this time of year? |

There are a few fast food places close by according to the FBO when I've
been there in the past. The on-field restaurant is now closed. Even though the AFD lists skydiving I'm not sure if it's still in operation. I've flown there a few times when I knew there should be jumping (extreme VFR) and never heard anything about skydiving. The FBO, Bald Eagle may be able to answer that one better. They are extremely nice and helpful people. -- Chris Ehlbeck, PP-ASEL "It's a license to learn, have fun and buy really expensive hamburgers." "jsmith" wrote in message ...
