I was planning to fly into Naples (KAPF) in Sep for a college reunion. Talked to the FBO about overnight tie-down charges for a tiny RV-8A - $21 + $10 if I didn't buy fuel! Discussed with the FBO lady how excessive those charges were - but got the "That's the way it's always been" explanation.
Called the airport manager's office and got the rest of the story. No additional $10 per night add-on. Total charge is $21 per night. And they have gotten a lot of "flak" about their rates so are reevaluating, loking for a price reduction with the 1 Oct new fiscal year.
The assistant airport manager said their rates were only slightly higher than other FL airports. For those who live there, is that true? Still seems like a rip-off to me.
