Wink

I love the idea, may I suggest:

1. Location somewhere towards the geographic center of the country?
2. An airport that would roll out the red carpet for us, maybe let us have a little shin dig in a hangar one night?
3. Airport with cheap 100LL either at the field or nearby.
4. Airport with a large fleet of crew cars
5. Somewhere with reasonable hotel accommodations
6. Somewhere with tourist attractions and shopping to keep the family happy
7. Airport with a brand spanking new 5000' runway with GPS approach
8. A date in spring before it gets too hot, or early fall if spring is too soon

I just may happen to know a place like this....

KRVS hits all those points. For gas KOWP (10nm NW from KRVS) 100LL right now is at $4.80.

Sad thing is, thats where Im based... I want to fly somewhere

Tulsa huh? I like Tulsa.

On a completely different note, I've been watching the new series "Tulsa King" starring Sly Stallone a.k.a. Rocky Balboa as a gangster recently released from prison after 25 years, trying to adjust to modern life. Lots of great scenery in Tulsa is shown, and I think the show is funny and entertaining. Hard to believe he's 75 years old! Makes me want to rent a suite at the Mayo hotel downtown, that's where he lives on the show!

Our gas at KGDJ is $4.99, but you can fly NW for short ride to KRPH where its $4.55. Both prices are for Assisted service, which is nice. At GDJ they basically do everything, I just pull the plane up and "supervise".

Maybe KPWA? Don Nieser is there…maybe we could talk him into a hangar tour of his amazing O-2 restoration and 337 parts biz, Commodore Aerospace?
