Roanoke Regional

Post by Moonshine »

There's an off chance we might end up there tonight
Any suggestions on the FBO/hotel nearby etc?
Just buzzing around really
The WX Northeast sucks, so meanwhile flew out to KSYI for the company get together, enjoying GE99 and the surrounding areas, and doing a feasibility study of continuing NE for fall colors. Don't have to be back in FL till Wednesday eve

Hey, that's my home drome! The only FBO here is Landmark - they will treat you right, but charge you for the privilege... Fuel here is 'down' to $6.99/gal this week!

Max, I sent you a PM with some more info.

But venice is a nice destination. (landing and parking fee 56$ for 2 days). Its unique, its Venice.

I'm a bit late on this one, but next time anyone's at ROA let me know as well! I'm a CFI at the Diamond training center here (http://www.smlaviation.com). I'd be happy to show you our hangar full of toys :)
