Flying out of JFK

Hi,
I will be flying out of JFK on 18 April at 400P and returning to JFK on
30 April at 725P. I'm thinking of flying my Archer from Cleveland to
somewhere in the area (no, I don't want to go into JFK, ha ha) and
leaving her there for the couple of weeks. Any suggestions will be
appriciated. I will probably plan to spend the night of the 30th and
fly back on 1 May. Hotel suggestion near where the Archer will be
staying. Suggested transportation from Archer to JFK.
Thanks to all.

Why "ha ha"? I flew (actually was flown) into JFK once in a Comanche to
catch a flight to Europe. Aside from having to know what you're doing,
it wasn't a particularly big deal. (It was pretty darn cool though.)

If you left your plane there for two weeks (as Chuck is planning to do), then
you have way more money than sense. Or I guess that should be "had."

That's why the "ha ha."

What was the landing fee?

I flew into Logan once; they had a sale going. For a month or so they
reduced the landing fee (at least for us little guys) to five dollars.
The controllers did a fine job and the approach was seamless. I had the
same experience into National (DC) some years back.

The fees later went right back to their usual level, and I bet they
approach three figures now, though I wouldn't be surprised if the
highest fees aren't at JFK but at smaller airports served by Signature.

for Email, make the obvious change in the address.

Republic nearby, KFRG, has lots of options and not too far from Kennedy.
Catch a Super Shuttle or a cab.

I have RON at Cleveland Hopkins, leaving the airplane at the Jet
Center... Landed at night as #2 with only a 757 in the pattern ahead of
me... Left at 5:30 AM and had the taxiways and the runway to myself...
It never hurts to make a few phone calls to the business jet FBO's at
JFK and you may find it possible, or not... But if you don't check, you
won't know...

Both PaulaJ and I are from Cleveland, and it's no Jack Kennedy....

Not so long ago, there was a GA tiedowns and quad hangars in the
back corner. I think it was a runway expansion that was the excuse
took them out, but it was driven by local politics. I'd guess the
Jet Center will be homeless as well; isn't it based in the old
bomber/tank plant?

[CLE is in Cleveland, but the abutting circa 1941 Fisher bomber plant
{locally called "The Tank Plant" as later it made...} was in Brookpark.
The two cities fought over that land for 3+ decades. Cleveland claimed
they needed it for expansion, but after it became the "IX Center"
and started competing with the downtown Convention Center, it got
even more vicious. Last I heard, they had settled with Cleveland
getting the plant and Brookpark getting NASA. But now Cleveland
somewhat realizes an airport expansion is not in the cards, and with
NASA-LeRC cutting back, there goes Brookpark's payroll tax income....]

tax..}.

I think it was supposed to be $100 (whoever said flying was a cheap
hobby?) but no one ever bothered to collect it. (In the FBO we were
told the pilot would get a bill in the mail, but he never did.)

Ah, good point. I was flown in, and the pilot turned right around and
flew back out again.
