Hi I might be able to help. Just returned on Tuesday, but we landed at KANE - and hangered with Cirrus Aviation at $30 per night and $2.09 per gallon. Tell Damon or Randy that I sent you there …negotiated rates. Also I suggest the St. Paul — Minnesota’s only 4 star hotel. Ask for Ben - let him know that I spoke with you and that you would like to do the same rate if he can. He usually is at $199 - $249 but gave me two rooms for $99 ea. His rate will depend upon availability. Ok - Have fun ---- BTW Cirrus can get you a car…but Thrity was outragous at $89 per day for a crappy Concord in poor shape…I would suggest you " grind the Car rate " in advance ! Hope this helped…and Please tip Damon the line guy — he’ll work his butt off for you. Safe Trip, Scott Prinz 998CD ---

There’s only one FBO at MIC now after the closing of Northland. Crystal Shamrock charges $30 for overnight hangar and 3.50 for a tie-down. Their number is 763 533 2214. I’ve found the service to be quite good. Hope this helps ---

Paul: Over the years I have used both Crystal Shamrock and Crystal Skyways (across the field from each other) when visiting MIC. Try this [http://www.airnav.com/airport/KMIC](http://www.airnav.com/airport/KMIC). Skyways is nice and they sometimes have room in a hanger, however I would call ahead to confirm. Quite a spread of fuel prices too. Unfortunately don’t know much about Scotchman? A nice convenient field to fly into, even though surrounded by neighborhoods. David Schwietert 203 RF ---

You may also want to look into flying cloud (FCM) as well. There are many options there. Elliott Aviation, ASI/Modern Aero just to name a few. ---

Also worth considering is KANE (Anoka County at Blaine, MN). The fuel there is typically the cheapest in the Twin Cities. Most folks go to Cirrus Flight ([http://members.fortunecity.com/cirrus1/](http://members.fortunecity.com/cirrus1/)). I think tie down is $25, they have car rentals and its about a 10 - 15 minute drive to the Crystal area. KANE is a great GA airport with two (9/27 and 18/36) very nice approx. 4000 ft. runways. ---

David, I forgot all about airnav, thanks for the link and memory refresher. I find the pilot comments about the FBO on any particular field very helpful.
