You will find excellent service at either KCAC or Air Associates. KCAC offers both Self and Full service fuel. I just completed my instrument rating with an instructor at KCAC's flight school. My home base is several miles west, so I have been frequenting their ramp several times a week for the past few months. The service is always excellent. Joe |

Thanks. This is what I was looking for. I learned to fly at Hillside (a
little more east) airport in 1970. Got my commerical at OJC, then left the area. I used to do a lot of flying over the Plaza during Christmas. Is that still allowed?

I used to do a lot of flying over the Plaza during Christmas. Is that still allowed? The plaza "tour" is still allowed, although I would contact approach on 118.9 and let them know your intentions, and don't get below 1000 feet agl.. The only real "gotcha" in the KC class B is the sports stadium TFR. Flight Service nor the local controllers seem to know when the Royals (or soon the Chiefs) are in town or the times of the games.... During my recent instrument work I used the ILS's into the downtown airport quite often. The controllers normal missed instructions were to " turn right/left heading 090, climb and maintain 3000". Those instructions meant a heading towards the stadiums at 2000' agl............ Welcome back to KC. We have only been here 4 years, and are still learning about all of the wonderful places to visit/eat/tour/enjoy. If time permits, make sure our tour the Boulevard Beer plant, and the refurbished Union Station. Oh...and you cannot leave town without several samples of KC's famous steaks, and barbeque. A baseball game may be in order. The Royals being in first place has the city very excited.... Our new minor league team the "T-Bones" are also a hoot to watch. Back to the FBO...I would just give KCAC a call (800-720-5222) the day before your expected arrival, and they will gladly handle any and all arrangements (rental car, hotel, etc) you might want. Welcome Back! Joe |

![]() Ross, I recommend KCAC on the west side of the field. Nice facility, easy access to transportation etc. I think you can still do the Plaza tour, but I'm not sure. I'm working on my Instrument there now. Hope this helps. Grant |
