MV Aviation Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 Hi fellow Mooneyacs, about a month ago a did an island hopping trip from Germany to Greece with my 65E. The first owner half a century ago used to fly a lot in this region (Greece, Lebanon, ...), so it was fun to take her back here. This is a video of leg number three from Thessaloniki to Athens International. It was an awesome (and expensive) experience, to be part of the ATC system in such a busy environment and the views were great. The two previous legs are already online and I'm working on the rest (Milos, Heraklion/Crete, Corfu, Dubrovnik, Zadar). I hope you enjoy the video. Best, Marco 6
Oscar Avalle Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 Nice, but how expensive is expensive. In light of the current debate about ATC in the US it would be interesting to get a perspective of what could happen to GA in the US...

Well, the landing and parking fee at Athens was in the area of 230€=250$. Including handling, we were at a little over 400€. The other Greek airports were ranging between 70 and 200€. In general in Europe you pay about 5 to 50€ at a very small airports and 50 to 100€ at regional/small international airports. In Frankfurt for example, landing for a light aircraft is 800-1000€, because they don't want you here. I once landed at KMIA with a PA28. After getting 10 Gal of fuel, I didn't have to pay anything else (what a dream). Enroute services for aircraft below 2T (I think) are fee. 1

Well, I once went to Boston Logan and ended up paying around US$ 400 to Signature... Oscar
