Tied Down
Planning on going up to the KLNK airshow this year -- closest Blue Angels' show to DEN this year and dad wants to go.
Trying to decide if I fly the airplane up and deal with rental car, etc... or just drive up. Would prefer to fly the airplane, but logistics of getting from an FBO through the gates of a typical airshow sometimes isn't easy.
If we fly up it could be Friday afternoon or Saturday morning early. Driving doesn't matter much for this post...
We'd probably stay overnight Saturday and see both days of the show.
Questions for the Nebraska gang:
- Duncan or Silverhawk FBO?
- What's up with KLNK 100LL pricing? Holy bejeebus... $6/gal at both FBOs. Would want to support 'em but sheesh.
- What's getting around the airport like...? Easy to get from the FBOs to wherever the airshow's gonna be?
- Any recommendations on hotels near the field?
Figured I'd ask here before calling up there... since there's a good Nebraska contingent here on PoA.
Originally this trip was scheduled months ago to FINALLY introduce Karen to a jet-team show (and the Blues), but she's always busy and stuffed something else into her calendar. So now it's a Father/Son trip... since we weren't going to cancel our fun just 'cause SHE's busy. LOL!
Would be nice to meet any PoA'ers going to the show also, thus reason #2 for this post...
