Only 5 transient parking spots now. There used to be many in front of the tower, I enjoyed visiting here for lunch, but they repaved the apron between the tower and Atlantic and took away a whole row of parking. It almost seems like they do not want us present. Jet center is the most affordable for the little guys, $25... I suppose if you come here the $100 hamburger is now $125. Or be one of the fortunate few that secure a spot Estin J. Cessna 182

Good small airport. Very active traffic pattern. When departing they wanted me to decide whether I'd depart on a left or right crosswind. So I suppose it's your selection.
