Default Philadelphia

Laurent,
I'm based at Wings, LOM, just outside Philly. I waited almost a year to
get a hanger. It's not much of a hanger. Just a long building with no
doors and no walls between aircraft. I don't have to move any planes to
get my plane out and it keeps the sun and the rain off. For me, keeping
the sun off the fabric is very important. I'm thrilled to have it.

I have to say that the people that work there have been great to deal
with, line guys, FBO owner, mechanics. The FBO is first class. There's
always free coffee and other goodies. There are two computers with high
speed internet access and a wifi setup for you to use your own laptop if
you want. Right now they have a fuel promotion called wacky wednesdays
- 50 cents off a gallon for avgas. They just sent me a coupon for
additional savings on fuel for anyday but wednesday. They're really
making a huge effort to promote the airport, FBO and flight school.

There are several other small airports in the Philly area. I expect
that finding a hanger won't be easy but you never know. A friend moved
to Wings about 6 months before me and got a hanger right away.

Hello,

After reading the forum for the last two years and missing the Oshkosh
reunion twice due to late arrival, my turn to ask a question and help.

We are moving to Philadelphia in few weeks and the plane will do too, so
what is a friendly GA airport with hangar space I know I am asking for a
lot.

Hope to meet some of you around that part of the continent soon.

Laurent
