I just got back from lunch with a flying friend and we were discussing the same topic as this thread.
His comments were short and not very sweet but generaly I have to agree with him. We have the oportunity to gather the information prior to our visit and if we are not happy with the cost then go somewhere else.
If you had your own Runway or Strip that required maintainance, manning, licencing etc then how much would you charge?
I really dont know how much would be fare but I`d be looking at covering costs and then some.....
If only I had that luxury..................
In addition to I0540`s last comments I remember not that long ago having arrived at Wick and sat having a toastie in full view of the security guards (both of them), my wife and I dusted the crumbs from our shirts and wandered back over to access the apron again but not before we had emptied our pockets, removed our shoes and answered several questions about our visit.
I didn`t mind the whole process but it did seem a bit much just for a wee toastie up North.
