Bethany Beach, DE

If the weather's good I'll be flying for business to look at a project
in Bethany Beach, DE from wings, LOM this Friday. The only public
airport nearby is Sussex Co, GED. There are a few private strips that
are a little closer. I never flown into a private strip that wasn't
listed for public use. Anybody familiar with these private strips, one
is called West, and how they feel about outsiders? I'll have someone
pick me up and drop me off so I won't need any ground transport.
Thanks

FYI, I'm based at Ocean City, and Ocean City is probably about the same
distance from Bethany as GED, but it's a straight shot up Coastal
Highway. I don't know any of the owners of these private strips, and, to
tell you the truth, I've never heard anyone at the airport talk about
them. I have friends in Roxanna (where West is located), but I've never
noticed the strip. Anyway, I just used "Kyler's nearby airport locator"
at: http://aviationtoolbox.org/old/nearby_airports.cgi to lookup these
fields, and you can get info about them at Airnav...

Thanks Jay. You're right about ocean city being closer. My friend
would prefer to drive there than GED. He's not a pilot but he is aware
of a local strip closer to his house. I think he's referring to west.
