On typical saturday's there is a decent crowd at BJC. In the Lima hanger row alone there are often several of us there. I'll be there beating my -8 project with a large hammer. Ron D will likely be there pulling on electrical spaghetti in his -7. Bob and Jim are usually down in Gray's hanger torturing Bob's -8 electrical system along with Sean in the same hanger finishing off his gorgeous -7 fuel tanks. Jim's flying -8 is the yardstick by which the rest of us torture ourselves. Dick next door has a very nice flying -8 too. John K has a very nice -6 across the way as well. Naturally, all depends on wife demands on the weekends...so naturally no promises made, but Saturday's you'll seldom be alone at BJC and the mountain view is without equal. You really can't go wrong with any of the three you are deciding between. |

I'll either fly in or drive in to see what hangar doors are open, thanks. |
It looks like Front Range (KFTG) is by far the cheapest for overnight stays (hangar storage). Here is the pricing on all three for future reference.
KAPA TacAIr= $150.00 per night. KBJC Aircenter= $130.00 per night. KFTG FrontRange= $79.00 first night $59.00 the second and third. I made a reservation with FrontRange. Thanks for all the help. I'm throwing this out there if anyone is bored on Saturday and wanting to fly. I would love to add Eagle (KEGE) to my log book. I have 700 hours flying flatland, zero mountain flying. I would love to go into eagle but not comfortable without a experienced pilot with me. We could take my 10 or I would be happy to pay the fuel if your more comfortable in yours. I know its a holiday weekend so its a long shot but thought I'd ask. My daughter has one soccer game Saturday so I'm free after 11:00 am. |
Wow, that is quite a difference in hanger fees. You made the right choice and I'm sure you will have a great time. The only guy I know out there in Kansas is a wild man in a -6a. A bit of a hot dog pilot, rumor has it he has been wringing out a local Pitts and scaring the bejesus out of the local goose population. Helluva nice guy, but I hear he likes to hang out on boats in the pacific with thousands of other men. Don't ask, don't tell is my motto. I've heard there are some pictures of his recent carrier qualifications....but none have surfaced thus far to my knowledge. Gary gave me my first RV ride way back when .... helluva nice guy despite that Navy fetish of his.
