| Redirected to KPNE due to passenger request, and couldn't have been happier about it. We normally go to PHL, but PNE is our new destination. Radio'd ahead to advise of arrival, girl at desk very friendly. Arrived, line service was slow to assist but the customer service reps quickly picked up slack (even brought out a luggage cart). There are several places to eat in the area, and there is a free crew car. Pilot's lounge is updated, but there isn't a pool table and the wireless was not working 100% - however, the customer service rep let me use her desk as needed in the interim. Overall, price for gas was high but the service inside more than made up for it. |

| I always seem to find my way over to the harbor freight store - especially when I have a coupon. Only about 10 minutes and all the cheap tools you need. You can usually find a coupon over at www.harborfreight.com by getting on their email list. I got my free flashlight. Great store for pilots since we are so cheap. |

| Harrison has a monopoly here. The city is building a new terminal though, so hopefully that'll help things. Self Serve is on the FAR south end of the field. Much cheaper! |

| Visit the falls of the ohio. There's an interpretive center and, when the Ohio river is low, stretches of fossil beds with easily seen fossils. Take water on a hot day. You could spend a few minutes or hike for several hours on the fossil beds. About 5 miles south on I65 on the IN bank of the Ohio at Jeffersonville. Near several really good restaurants, too. |

| I stay at the Hampton about 1 minute from Airport, I use Jetscape FBO that is great and if you use UV Air is the cheapest fuel around, the bad part is they dont take any other contract fuel. There is a mall in the corner of 12th AVE SW and 34th Street, the pizza place there is great, one of the best pizzas around, any FBO will drive you there is a very short drive. |

| Misc- KPNE - (PHILADELPHIA, PA) April,3,2010 |
| While visiting PNE, I chose Atlantic for this trip and I have to say that I wish I would've chosen them for all previous trips as well. First, PNE is a way better alternative to PHL because you do not have to deal with any commercial traffic.
As far as Atlantic vs the JetCenter - the Jet Center offers low fuel prices and low customer service to go with those prices. On our last visit we had six pax and a full lav - the line guys refused to do lavs because it was Sunday, but they were kind enough to show us the lav cart if we wanted to do it ourselves. This was the last reason I needed to convince the owners to use Atlantic over the Jet Center.
Atlantic's facility is a little more open, but does not have a pool table or hot tub. They do offer complimentary sodas and have a fitness room, and there is are free crew cars and lots of things to do in the area and the girls at the counter are VERY knoweledgable. |
