I've stayed overnight at KAAO a couple times a year. Gas is spendy, but no tie down fees and nice FBO. Just make sure you land at the right airport! There are 4 of them all around and all aligned in the same direction. Earlier this year a Boeing Dreamliner landed at KAAO by mistake!

1k1
Paul, I live at Stearman Field, 1K1. As mentioned, no rental cars, or hotels nearby, but it is a practically a requisite if coming to Wichita, to fly over to 1K1 and visit the restaurant. I'd love to meet you there and buy you a beverage - a pop if you fly in - There are several RV's in various phases of construction here at the field, including a -4 in my garage.
I genuinely hope you can make time to come by and see us!
Gregg

Paul,
Too bad I'm no longer in Wichita. My house (still own it) is about 5 minutes from KAAO, and has 3 extra bedrooms. I'd really have liked to invite you over and have a visit. I also like 3AU (Augusta), but it is a bit out of your way, and no rental cars as far as I know.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I (of course) typed my first note - my business is on the northeast side of town, between Jabara and Stearman, so I ended up at Jabara, and following some good advice I got via PM, made sure I personally got the airplane to its tie down spot and saw it properly fueled. Now sitting in a hotel nearby for the evening if anyone in town wants to get together - drop me a note at paul@ironflight.net . I might just drive over to Stearman to have a look - had enough flying for one day! I'll be busy flying tomorrow, and leaving for Oshkosh on Monday.
Nice two-hop fromCarson City today - left home before sun-up, stopped for fuel at Montrose, CO, and got over Monarch Pass before the thunder-bumpers built up. Smooth cruise at 13.5K, sipping fuel at 6.5 gph, LOP. That gives me just about 160 knots in the RV-8. Gotta love these things! Two-hop to go over 1,000 nm in little over six hours.

TRY TO GO HERE since you are so close to Hutchinson KS. Amazing stuff! Old Soviet space hardware, the Liberty Bell (Gus Grissom), The Apollo 13 Command Module plus lots more. http://www.cosmo.org One of the best museums I have ever been in.

Glad you made it out, Paul. I was at both Jabara and Stearman (via SuperCub) this morning, but didn't see Val so I figured you were still in route. Enjoy your stay and safe travels the next couple weeks!

Unfortunately, this is a working trip, so I don't have the time, but the Cosmosphere is, indeed a good museum. I do have to be careful at places liek that - some consider ME to be "old space memorabelia".......
Brad - would have ben fun to get together. I am going to be flying locally today and leaving at first light tomorrow. I don't currently have plans this evening.
Paul
