Yep, I am trying fly friendly...staying away from these guys etc. Mostly I am successful. I guess with the larger helicopter businesses... they have their own person fuels trucks... which is great. Placerville... has the grump old guys too.

Cameron Park is the one banning all helicopters. Admittedly, it a small airport. But if it is public...and takes public funds, I am pretty sure they cannot restrict access. I was told that they are fighting the the FAA/FISDO in Sacramento about it. The FAA is threatening to pull their funding. LOL.

An other example... fuel insland in San Luis Obispo. The locals like to wash their planes NEXT to the fuel island. LOL. OK. Fine with me. But fuel islands are like watering holes in the desert. Thats where all the animals congregate...including wild helicopters.
