mike_elliott Posted May 8, 2023 Report Posted May 8, 2023 From Dave and Ruth: Dear Mooney Enthusiast, We had pleasant VFR weather for our last event with 8 Mooneys and 1 Bonanza bringing 20 people to lunch at Flagler. With their usual good food and service, everyone had a good time. Our next event is this Saturday, May 13 at St. Augustine (KSGJ). This will probably be a first and last as the FBO, Atlantic, is threatening to levy a $75 ramp fee in the future, possibly starting in June. They also did not want our airplanes on their ramp interfering with their jet customers, so I have negotiated with the airport to use the overflow parking (be sure to tell ground control you are going to the overflow parking), and Atlantic will haul us from there to the FBO and back at no charge. I do not know if this service will be available in the future. Below is a copy of my letter and Atlantic’s answers. All events start at 11:30. Future events: May 13, St. Augustine ( SGJ). June 10, Sebring (SEF). July 8, Williston (X60). Please let me know by Thursday if you are going to try to come so I can give the restaurant an approximate headcount. If you tell me you are coming, and can’t come do not worry about telling me, just do not come. I do not want anyone flying for any reason if they shouldn’t. Hope to see you soon, Dave and Ruth 11605 Lane Park Rd. Tavares, FL. 352-408-3343 1). Request parking at overflow ramp 2). You will need to be escorted so van and golf carts will do the trick. Must go through FBO to get to restaurant entrance (streetside) 3). Negative Fee Vinny Beyers General Manager ‑ SGJ T: 904-584-9628 ext. 9628 vinny.beyers@atlanticaviation.com Quote
