SMAC187 Is Your Airport Aviation Friendly?

Is Your Airport Aviation Friendly? As many of you know we recently moved to Lakeland, Florida. The move has been a tremendous boost to our business and to this podcast. We really love being in Lakeland and close to the many aviation venues and events in Central Florida.

Since I am between airplanes I decided to try and find somewhere local where I can hang out, rent planes, join a flying club or simply hanger fly. The logical place to start is the airport with a runway only a 2 miles from my house. Walking out my front door, I looked skyward as the drone of an airplane became louder then flew by towards my destination for the day. This is when I got excited.

Memories danced through my head of my childhood local airport. Perched next to the runway, my fingers entwined in the chain linked fence, I looked in awe of at the flying machines. Similar to this day at the airport my fingers clenched the chain link fence, but in a disappointed and somewhat desperate grip. I had discovered I moved next to an airport that was not what I envisioned as a general aviation friendly airport.

Maybe I was expecting too much. Maybe I should have done more research. Maybe I needed to find a new friendlier Airport. But that led me to thinking about my dilemma and I thought I would ask our co hosts and you if I am being too tough on my local airport. Also what is a general aviation airport?
