Some are Expensive

Spent over $300 US for 10 lbs of air for an under inflated nose wheel on my 1966 Mooney M20E.

Dulles (KIAD) on a Saturday. Contacted the FBO for assistance, they charged me to call the maintenance company on call. The maintenance guy came out and charged me the "weekend call out rate". There was a charge for just him showing up, let alone the 20 seconds to inflate the tire. The airport commission took a cut as well. Expensive lesson, but no way was I going to risk a full fledged flat nose wheel on taxi, departure or arrival.
