Re: I can cross LAS off the bucket list.... What do North Las Vegas and Henderson have for landing and tie down fees?

Re: Grand Island, NE (KGRI) This weekend - anyone near? I would love too...except we are on vacation in Mexico. Let me know next time.

Re: Heading for Salem Oregon Dean, Yeah, about 100 miles or so from there. Unfortunately, I won't be...wife and I are going to Mexico on the 27th until the August 1. Thank you for letting me know. If that trip happens again for you, let me know. JD
