Greetings! I am searching for a fly-mate (is the term correct) who is willing to give me a tour of the secondary and smaller airports that is served by the airliners like that of SWA and other LCC in the United States. The purpose is to familiarize myself of the smaller airports (like Midway, Dallas Love, Houston Hobby, Fort Lauderdale) since Im only familiar with the major airports in the United States, and at the same time gain friends as well.

 

Since I like airliners a lot than General Aviation ones, I will be using an A320-200. If anyone who is willing please post your available time and date and flight route. I would like to start from KLAX.

Hi Kenji, I thought u said secondary airport and you want to start with KLAX? Try KSNA, that is a secondary airport in that area!!

 

You didn't post times you will be available so folks know when they can fly with you if they decide to. Me, I usually fly around 0500z to 0700z range.

 

Let us know!!

Ow thanks for the info ^^ Like I said I do not know any regional airports in the US, so I will take KSNA as my starting point. Are you free this Saturday sir? Perhaps we could schedule some flights?

No worries...that's why I gave the suggestion. Saturday is one day I usually can't fly. Wait, are you talking Zulu time or PST (my time) If its Zulu, meaning 01/23 0600z I can sure fly with you!! If you can fly, let's do KSNA-KOAK, its another secondary airport in the north bay area, near KSFO.

 

Cheers!!

Well give us a pair, and we will sure hop there.

 

Kenji, when u r feeling better, our next few flights will be :

 

From Oakland Intl:

Portland, WA - KPDX

Juneau Intl, AS - PAJN

Fairbanks Intl, AS - PAFA

Ketchikan, AS - PAKT

Spokane, WA - KGEG

Great Falls, MO - KGTF

Jackson Hole, WY - KJAC

Rapid City Regional Airport, SD - KRAP (I hear it is better than the ICAO)

Grand Forks, ND - KGFK

 

That should keep us busy for a while till I figure out other secondary airports. They are not like the first two we flew which are secondary destinations to the primary airport by proximity. Some of these airports are the primary in their areas. The only condition I used is non-cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts] B

 

When u r ready, let's go fly!!

Cheers!!

 

Edit: Addtl airports into and out of AS - 01/30/10

You can always try PAJN-PAFA, you can throw a flight out of an airport somewhere in Seattle to connect to Juneau. If ever you agree with this, let me know cause I might be able to join the 2 of you.

Well KSEA doesn't fall int our Regional/Secondary Airport Hopping, but all the same put in 3 more airports in AS. Flight times between AS and WA airports will reach the 3 hr mark, so preferably during US/Fri/PST times will work out good!!

Kenji, not sure what ur availability, I would like to do the KPDX - PAJN on Feb 6th, 0600z, if we can get the KOAK KPDX done before that, good, if not, no big deal. Except the hrs of 0900z - 1600z, I can fly most any other time Feb 2nd and early Feb 3rd, upto 0900z. Let me know.
