Dropping off pax at MHT
I need to drop off a passenger at MHT to catch a commercial flight. Has
anyone done this? I read the FAA blurb that GA aircraft are not allowed on the apron. Do the local FBO's have courtesy cars? Thanks. -- Remove "2PLANES" to reply. |

Do the local FBO's have courtesy cars? The main FBO there is Wiggins Airways, and they're absolutely fantastic. Their web site http://www.wiggins-air.com/intro.html mentions courtesy cars, and you can give them a call and find out the details: 603-629-9191. Fuel's a little on the expensive side, but they treat you well no matter what you're flying, and that's worth something in my book. Enjoy MHT! -- Garner R.

Don't need fuel. (Flying in from CNH.) Thanks for the info though. I
saw their link on the AOPA airport directory. They looked too big/fancy to want to deal with a 40-year-old 172. Sounds like that is a bad assessment. I'll give them a call. Thanks.

If you are going to ask them for transportation for your pax, the least
you could do is purchase some "courtesy fuel". That's one way to reward them and help them stay around for the next time you need them. Dan Truesdell wrote: Don't need fuel. (Flying in from CNH.)

I had planned on giving them something for the car/ride. I don't think
buying 3-4 gallons of fuel is worth anyone's time. john smith wrote: If you are going to ask them for transportation for your pax, the least you could do is purchase some "courtesy fuel".

I fly a Champ with a 13 gallon tank which burns 4 gph. I don't think
twice about asking for a top off, even if it is only a couple of gallons. Dan Truesdell wrote: I had planned on giving them something for the car/ride. I don't think buying 3-4 gallons of fuel is worth anyone's time. |
