 |
|
Hi Listers,
I will be repositioning my airplane around the 12-15th of this month to
Texas. I have routed my flight from Central Oregon to Burley, Id then to
Fort Collins, then to Salina, KS and finally to Frankston, Tx. My wife will
be following each day and catching up to me so only about 2 to 2-1/2 hour
flights each day for me.
My question is about Fort Collins. My sister lives in Severance and I see
two airports there which are public use. 3V5 and FNL. It appears that 3V5
has two useable runways for me, but can anybody from this area give me any
info on which one would be better for an overnight stay? Also, I need to
avoid flying over densely populated areas.
Thanks for any input

OK, you must be the guy who has not flown off the hours yet. Look into
Greeley as well.
It is probably as close to Severance as the others and has two nice runways.

Tim,
I used to live in Fort Collins and have flown out of both airports. 3V5 is downtown Fort Collins and is difficult to avoid densly populated areas. FNL has a nicer runway (longer and wider) and is located between Fort Collins and Loveland, serving both towns. It's less densly populated around FNL. Driving distance from Ft. Collins to either airport is similar, depending on where you are in Ft. Collins. If it were me, I would choose FNL.

Hi Joel,
It appears there is a consensus here. Someone else mentioned that 3V5 will be closed shortly. Too bad to loose another airport. I suspect I will planning to use FNL.
Thanks
Tim

I like landing at Greeley as well. It has good runways, self service fuel and a cafe.
The Pocatello ID airport (KPIH) is outside of town and clear of population, as well as Idaho Falls runway 2-20 (KIDA). I use (1U7) Bear Lake as a way point on the way form ID to CO.
I recommend your wife drive US 30 from ID to Rock Springs as it is mostly good road and much shorter than the alternatives.
