KGKY - Harrison Aviation

I finally got to post something here about a crew car. My friend Darren and I went to Arlington last night to see Phil Boyer speak at a Pilot Town Meeting. It is one of his last meetings before he retires at the end of the year.

We flew from McKinney (KTKI) to Arlington (KGKY) and visited Harrison Aviation. They were very nice and friendly. They have a $10 tie down fee if you don't buy any fuel but the very nice lady at the counter waived the fee for us.

The car was a Ford Taurus in good shape, so I can't bag on them for this car (just wait till we go to Paris). Darren is going to leave a good note on Airnav. All in all we had a great time flying in the cool night air and even had a good drive over to the Hotel. Pictures are below. Sorry about the quality. My iPhone was the only thing that would take a decent picture. My Fuji Camera looked even worse.

I received a tip that the quality of the crew car is directly related to the price of fuel, so I am going to include the price of fuel for each post.

Fuel Price
SS 100LL - $5.29
FS 100LL - $5.99
Ramp Fee $10.00 (if no fuel purchased)

Darren and his pimp mobile.

The only good shot.
