The quoted price for a GA single was in the region of £100 for a night's stay (landing fee, nav charges, "handling", a van to drive you less than 50 metres to the FBO, tea, biscuits, using the bog, walking through the door, using the mat at the door to wipe your feet, various other silly punitive things along those lines). Or put this way, not far short off the cost an hour's flight time just to land and park.
Never mind. It's my money so if I'm not happy with the price I take my business elsewhere. Their loss. Simple really.
How far away are Longside and Whiterashes? Edzell is still marked as closed on my chart and I don't see either of the former on the chart.
As a newbie I'd probably give Insch a miss then unless I was well versed in shorty strip techniques... which currently I'm not, so wouldn't want to try anything silly.
Thanks for the contributions all.
