All,
Just wanted to pass along a couple of tips if you head to this airport. I've only been in a couple of times, but traditionally, they have some of the cheapest gas around.
Anyway, talked to a very nice gentleman there the last time I went in. Due to the local community fathers always putting a target on the airports back, they would much prefer if you *always* use runway 14 and land "uphill". Also, if you can't use 14 due to winds, then make sure your pattern is on the NE side in all cases. This keeps the pattern away from being over the city. For example, left hand traffice for 32 is frowned upon. Right had for 32 is preferred.
Anyway, nice little place, good longish runway and low gas prices, just be advised on runway pattern and preference.
Hope this helps.
