Martha's Vineyard PIREP ?
 
My wife and I are going up to Martha's Vineyard in a couple of weeks. I was wondering how Katama (1B2) is in terms of runway condtion and sight seeing VS just flying into MVY ? Neither of us have ever been to the island, so any suggested things to do/see would be great. - It is just a 2 day trip.

I have never flown in to 1B2, so I cannot comment.

MVY is a nice GA friendly airport. There is a bus that runs between the airport and town, or you can get a taxi. The taxi price is a rip off, so if you don't mind riding the bus you will save a few bucks.

I used to fly into Katama regularly with my Citabria, but felt the runways were too rough for my -4. Now I fly to the big airport, but miss Katama...
