I love flying into large airports, so this might not be everyone's
experience, but I found Dulles as accommodating and friendly (in terms of
controllers/FBO) as any other large airport. I went to Piedmont each time,
and they are very friendly. I think they charged $10 or so, and I didn't
buy gas. Maybe the waived the ramp fee for me, I don't know. But I try to
be nice to the FBO people and they usually return it.

Jets (but never the airlines) are sometimes a little condescending to us
little guys but why would I care about small minds?

I am going to take an instrument training seminar near Dulles in

drive (3.5 hrs).

Flying sounds a lot more logical but I am wondering about the fees
charged by either of the big-time FBOs there. I think it is Signature
