Dave,
I fly a Mooney Ovation 3. I was just looking for something fun to do tomorrow. I would have loved to be a part of your group and attend your Fly-Ins, but decided to take a pass when I saw this comment:
PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS A CHANGE FROM ALBERT WHITTED, THE PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED MAY DESTINATION. WE HAD TO CHANGE TO AVOID A $16 PER AIRPLANE RAMP FEE.
I'm a base tenant at Albert Whitted Airport, and also the owner of a small business. I try to support the local economy whenever possible. St Pete Flying Service is a well run business that provides a great service to our community. They provide complimentary coffee, downtown transportation, flight planning computers, wifi, crew lounge, and a number of other free services. They waive ramp fees if you support them and purchase 5 gallons of gas. 5 GALLONS OF GAS. Was that really too much support for you to show?
Neil
