I may be remembering this incorrectly.........is this the airport that welcomed GA with open arms prior to opening to commercial traffic, as it needed GA to help train up it's ATC'ers and sort out local procedures before the heavies moved in?

I seem to remember a lot of complaints about forcing out GA by high landing fees and impossible security policies shortly after it opening.

I may be remembering this incorrectly, or maybe someone's unreasonable complaint about fees/security may be just sticking in my memory.

But if I am remembering that correctly, would you trust anything they said about it not being a hindrance to GA traffic?

Scotter boy, are you flying IFR when doing these transits, or are you trying to transit low level VFR?
