Default Locate airports by radius from a given airport

Kalispell's Glacier Intl?


The identifier was changed a few months ago to GPI from FCA. GPI stands
for Glacier Park International, that has been the name of the airport
for a long time.



Thanks for the note on the eastern side. How accessible is the park from Cut
Bank? Kalispell is closer, but Cut Bank seems to be easier approaches and
cheaper fuel. Correct?


There are no rental cars available at CTB. GPI and S27 are better. S27
is right in the middle of Kalispell and has a grocery store on the field
as well as a motel, the Aero Inn. When we go play in the mountains this
is where we go when we need to get some supplies. Fuel is a little
cheaper in CTB. As for approaches this is no place to be IFR in a
spamcan. VFR is easy around here.
