This is a nice, small, easily accessible local/regional airport. I especially liked the fact that it's so open, and you can see right out over the runways, aprons and taxiways from the outside perimeter.
It's also the home to Astac Air Traffic Control College (the reason I was there) and The Aviator Bar/Restaurant - both great places.
Although I didn't fly, I spent a week around and about, and visited the main terminal a couple of times (if you could call it that). It's small and friendly, but quite adequate. Not quite in the same league as the bigger airports - no shops and restaurants, but plenty of brochures to read while you're waiting.
Best thing is the free car parking - there aren't many airports that can boast that! Hopefully they won't try and change that as it would be a blow to the other businesses located on site.
A nice place to visit if you like to look at planes, although most of it is GA so if the weather isn't too good then there won't be much flying. read more
