View Full Version : Where to land/park near Parsippany NJ

I'll be heading to NJ next month, and I'll be right in the middle of
Morristown (MMU), Caldwell (CDW), and Lincoln Park (N07). Where is the best
place to park my Cherokee 140 for a few hours on a Saturday. I won't *need*
fuel, but I'll take some if it helps out.

I'm leaning towards Lincoln Park, as I think my Cherokee will be better
received and won't be competing with kerosene burners.

Any advice?

Both Caldwell and Morristown are pretty friendly to avgas burners as well in
my opinion. Nothing like Teterboro. I go to Mac Dan when I go there. Real
nice staff.

Lincoln Park is very close - an exit or two down route 80. It's a small,
friendly airport, but a bit of a short runway if the wind is blowing in the
wrong direction... Narrow too.

Still, in a 140 shouldn't be a problem.

I think it's closer to Parsippany than either of the other two, but you'll
probably wait longer for a cab there unless you call ahead...

Thanks for the reply.

According to google maps, MMU is the closest (5 miles vs 14 miles). Lincoln
Park is 1000 feet longer than my home field, so I don't think it will be a
problem.
