Rip-off Luton

[Lurcher Man]

Keep up the pressure

The whole point of using GA for anything other than going for the £100 hamburger is to get as close as possible to your places of business. Having to take an expensive/time consuming taxi ride defeats the object.
You need to go to your own timetable not at the whim of the local planning authority
You also need to be able to get there on time. So you may need help to get down. Your load may vary so sometimes you could use grass other times not.

It is all about flexibility and viability.

Flying for Fun

It is not true to say that all American airports are owned and run by the Government.
What we do need are many more airfields like theirs.
cheap to go
24hr
Lighting
No airtraffic
No Fire cover

Therefore your answer is . . . . . ???

Instead of Luton, lob into Rush Green. It'll only cost you a fiver plus a tenner or so for the taxi from Luton Airport. It is only 550m of grass though so you'll need something with goodish short field performance if you are carrying a load

Er, don't just lob in, call 'em first, there are certain procedures. I know you know this L'n'S, just being careful!
