MARZ Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Weather permitting I'll be overnighting at KDAL Dec. 2 Any recommendations on a reasonable FBO? Quote
DonMuncy Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 At the risk of trying to talk you out of something you have already set you mind on, you might want to consider going to RBD rather than DAL. If you are going to downtown Dallas, it is about the same time to get there from Dallas Executive. RBD has two FBOs, Ambassador and Jet Center. They are both accomodating. I hangar at Ambassador, and they have nice facilities. Rental cars available and their avgas is about $2 per gallon cheaper than DAL. Even more so if you use their convinient self serv. Take a look at Airnav for both. If I can help, contact me. 214 207-6744 d.muncy@sbcglobal.net. Quote
Seth Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Without a doubt I also reccomend RBD over DAL - Stayed there for two days in late April for a Wedding - they were great to deal with and much less expensive than DAL. -Seth Quote
MARZ Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Posted November 15, 2011 No not fully decided. Our kids are moving back to the states and will be at the Sheraton Market Center that weekend on the way to New Mexico. KDAL just seemed closest. Thanks for the suggestion Quote
DonMuncy Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 You are right. The Market Center is closer to DAL. From Tomball, RBD is maybe 5 minutes shorter by air. From all the commercial traffic into DAL and getting out of and into the airport, you will probably eat up the 10 minutes difference getting from RBD to the Market Center vs DAL. Quote
Parker_Woodruff Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Ambassador Jet Center is excellent. When they have room, they put you in the hangar at no charge. Fuel prices plenty reasonable for the level of service. Quote
smccray Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 I'm based at RBD/Ambassador as well. Don has been spying on me and says our planes are hangar neighbors, but I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him anywhere other than right here on MooneySpace. One of these days we'll have to fix that... Quote
MARZ Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Posted November 16, 2011 Ambassador Jet Center it is then - thanks for the information - now I just hope the weather cooperates. Quote
carusoam Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 I used to work under the approach path to one of the runways at red bird. If you have a rental car in your plan, RBD was easy in easy out compared to Dallas Love. Best regards, -a- Quote
