Default Aircraft ownership in Ohio

whats that? and how does it work?


This is a very small field, though rather near the Big City.
Everybody based there -- plus any local friends of the airport
owner based elsewhere -- gets a key to the little FBO house. You
unlock the door, turn the pump on, gas your plane. Back in the
FBO, note the gallons you took in the log, turn pump off, lock
the door, and go fly. Given this woman's [apt owner]
respectable/potentially stern personality, I never heard of a
tale from her in 20 years the system didn't work. Just what's
wrong with Norman Rockwell's America and small airports, and
selected users thereof which is inconsistent? :-)
