Iowa City / Cedar Rapids rental aircraft
I will be in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City visiting relatives over the holiday
season, and I was looking online to see what rental aircraft are available at local FBOs. Unfortunately, the web sites for the local FBOs aren't very helpful other than the mention of an Archer at CID. I've flown into CID several times before, but winter weather means this will be a driving trip. Can someone (Jay Honeck perhaps?) let me know what is available for rental at either airport? Thanks in advance, Eric Bartsch |

Hey Eric!
Iowa City's FBO, Jet Air, Inc, has a good selection of 152s, Warriors, 172s, 182s, and 206s. (They're a Cessna dealer.) Don't know the prices, but I can find out, if you'd like? Or you might just give them a jingle at 319-339-9160? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Any idea if the Cessna dealer has one? If not, I might have to rent the 182 for some local sightseeing. If I'm near the Iowa City airport, I'll have to drop by the Inn. Thanks again, Eric Bartsch |

Jay, thanks for the help. I was hoping to find a 172RG so I could continue
work on my commercial during the holidays. Any idea if the Cessna dealer has one? I haven't noticed any RGs (all of their stuff is pretty much brand new) -- but I honestly haven't paid close attention to the rental birds. (Other than to drool on the panels...) If I'm near the Iowa City airport, I'll have to drop by the Inn. You'd better! The danged place is going to be full of mine and Mary's family -- I'll need a break! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

family -- I'll need a break! :-) Just charge them double for the added aggravation! That's the bitch of owning a hotel -- family stays free, and they make a bigger mess than "normal" guests! ;0 Oh well, it'll be fun. We've never had everyone in Iowa for Christmas before. And, for all the folks in from the west coast, it sure looks like we'll have snow for 'em, in spades. (They ALL want a "White Christmas", of course, damn that Bing Crosby. It'll be interesting to see what they say when I hand 'em a shovel....) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Tell them that your contract with the housekeeping service requires them to
be off for the holiday, and so they better clean up after themselves! Or better yet, tell them that the hotel is booked for the holidays, and send them off to one of your partner hotels down the block! If that won't work, then just staff up and write it all off!
