Or, C, call ahead to find out where to park.

Im yet to meet an operator that won't happily advise a fellow pilot on parking areas over the phone. Most are often only to happy to pass on any local knowledge that may make your visit alot easier and less stressful.

Then there is also the pilot that manages to shut down right in the middle of the very small parking area available when you are following them in.

Having experienced on many occasions someone parking in my tie downs with varying results. Sometimes its a quick wave to say sorry and start up and move, to them getting in the car and driving off, to having aircraft blocked from parking spots during/at the end of a days flying.

Lets not get started on pilots that park in front the fuel bowser. Warriors are hardly a difficult aircraft to pull forward (most singles and a couple of light twins in fact). I could go on and on about airpersonship, but I'll leave the rant there.
