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."

I prefer Heaven for climate but Hell for company.

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....]

NASA in its tax base {but since it's federal land, it pays no property
tax..}.

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

Hey Chuck, what have you come up with for leaving the plane?

denny

Republic is probably the best option because of the multiple FBO's and its
proximity to JFK. You can take a cab ride to JFK or a cab ride to the Long
Island Railroad (5 mins from FRG) and take the AirTrain from Jamaica
station. For $5 the AirTrain will take you directly to your terminal. LIRR
will run you about $10 each. Depending on how much luggage you have, you may
want to pay for a cab/car service.

As for FBOs, Long Island Jet Center (631-843-9488) is probably cheaper than
Atlantic Aviation (631-752-9022) for parking fees but call both to compare.
Both may be able to courtesy-car you to the train station if you choose that
mode.

Good luck.
