Downtown (3DW)

Stopped in here for a weather diversion. Super friendly crew. Fuel was cheap, and no fees. Easily one of the best airports I've stopped at!

After 14 years at 3DW and I got an invoice that my hangar price doubled. I was told I could not do your own oil changes and had to use Fulltron FBO's flight instructor, which is fine if I was told this beforehand. The manner I was treated was awful. They told me my kids likely lost the notice!! When I asked to talk to the manager she said why is it because I’m a woman?? Really wild there. Cant make this stuff up.

Flew in, missed the tower!!, tied my tailwheel a/c down on the grass good tiedowns though ropes getting a bit old. Lyft to (and next day return from) the Walnut Street Inn for an overnight, a delightful B&B (not AirBnB). Good self service fuel. In the evening we took in a AA baseball game, saw the Springfield Cardinals win 4-0 against Corpus Christi, yay! This was fine fun; the Show is too expensive these days anyway. The baseball stadium is an easy walk from the Walnut Street Inn.
