AOPA Expo in Philly 10/03

Ernie:

Thanks for the info. I'm coming to the same conclusion. I'm going in Tuesday for a seminar, so I'll miss the madness getting there with all of the other expo traffic, it's getting out that I'm trying to arrange now.

Oddly enough, PHL is actually cheaper for gas (and if you buy 20 gallons or more, they reduce the price down to $2.84/gal) than PNE and they also waive the first night tie down fee of $35.00. Atlantic at PNE isn't giving any price break on fuel, and no waivers of $18.00 night tie down fee with purchase of fuel. Thus, everyone be aware if you're headed there. This is NOT what was mentioned on the AOPA site last time I looked. It mentioned a PNE tie down waiver with purchase of fuel.

Also, since I'm going in a day or two before the free Expo shuttles start to run, it's much cheaper for me to hop on the train at PHL rather than pay $40 for a cab to my hotel.

And besides, it's been 9 months since I've actually had to do a full standard departure procedure. It'll be good for me.

I was hoping some local pilot might have a super secret airport or idea around the masses. Guess not.
