Dundee is a great airport to fly into GA, and always something going on given the air cadet training they do out of there.

The only gotcha is that it closes stupidly early on a Saturday (1630), allegedly to send the fire crews home to save cash as there are no commercial flights after that.

That meant we had to divert into EDI after Aberdeen dropped below minima on a recent trip back from France, which was an expensive diversion (and it was a nominated alternate so couldn't try and get a wx diversion discount), but hey ho - not many options up the NE coast.

(Although I believe you can get an out of hours exemption for Dundee?)
