Re: Info on Zamperini/Torrance KTOA Yes Joel, I religiously use Airnav and plan all my Cross Countries accordingly. I'll even land a few miles short to fill up and then continue on to the destination. .40 cents/gallon over 50 gallons will cover the tie down fees for a couple of days. I've never...

Re: Info on Zamperini/Torrance KTOA Joel: Just checked on Airnav about GYR and no mention of the .40 more for transients, just 4.29 for 100LL. How do they differentiate? Is this Lux Air or the local Airport commission? Stuff like this ought to be posted on Sites like Airnav to keep the pressure...
