"Airport Courtesy Cars" is a new Google Play/Apple iPhone app that lists over 1100 airports nationwide that have crew/courtesy cars.  Make sure you search for it in the phone store, as searching from a tablet won't work.  You can load it on an iPad by changing the search function in the app store from iPad apps to iPhone apps.You can dial the listing directly from the app to see if a car is available.  If you have a listing that I missed, or a correction, you can email me via the app, or to airportcars101(at)gmail.com. Thanks for looking.  Glenn

Thank you AOPA for reviewing the Airport Courtesy Car app in the February issue on page 37. The review states the app is only available for iPhone, however that is incorrect. And thanks also to AvWeb who reviewed it earlier. The app is available for Android in the Google Play Store, so you Android users, please check it out. The app is totally free and now lists over 1100 locations nationwide. And thanks to all the folks on this forum who contributed listings. Glenn

Wanted to update the list with the following, the Airport Courtesy Car app as of this date has over 1300 listings nationwide with over 5000 pilots that have downloaded the app.  It continues to be covered by major publications.  Since AvWeb covered it and AOPA Pilot magazine in the February issue, it has most recently been favored by G.A. News.  Also I can now upload  pictures of your favorite crew cars to the state listings, so email those pictures to me at airportcars101(at)gmail.com.  And keep those entries coming!

Quick update, 18,000 launches, more discounts being added for users, more positive national press coverage and keeping it free to pilots.  Thanks, Glenn

Thank you iPhone users for waiting out the IOS 9 upgrade while the Airport Courtesy Car app was down. The app is back up for all users and the layout and look of the app has been upgraded also. The listings continue to grow, currently at over 1,520, and approaches 25,000 launches. Please continue to send in listings I have missed or corrections that need to be made and I will get right on them. And if you use and like the app, please consider a small donation to help with expenses, even the tip that you leave on the lunch counter is appreciated.  There are PayPal links on the app, and my mailing address is also listed within the app.  Glenn

PS: Also wanted to mention the app now has a search function that many people asked for.

Glenn - you forgot to mention what geographical area your app covers. Is it still limited only to airports in USA, or does it have worldwide coverage?

I don't keep a mailing list to delete you from, and I post on this forum with Matts permission.

Hi guys,



I think we are being just a wee bit harsh on Glenn.  Yes his post concerns

a CONUS-only app, but then again, this mailing list is hosted in the US and,

if you check, a very high fraction of the posts here concern UK only activities,

companies and lingo.  



What is "Last Wine" anyway, in California we have wine all year long

Well said Ira! & Sorry if Last of the Summer Wine has featured overmuch! LOSW was a comedy program about a threesome of geriatric duffers who idled their time away waiting for the pub to open. I suppose most of us on this side of the pond are fairly geriatric, and someone thought it might be an apt title for the usual suspects who take an autumnal trip round France. However I can assure you that there is no likelihood of the wine actually running out. 

Regards, David Joyce, GXSDJ

I suspect that Iraâ€™s tongue is sticking in his cheek a bit re: â€œLast Wineâ€â€¦personally, I love these cheery little titles you Brits have come up withâ€¦LOSWâ€¦DOTHâ€¦etc. 

â€¦and our list can be an efficient way to crowd-source data for Glennâ€™s courtesy car appâ€¦and if his is limited to the USA, so what?  Perhaps someone in UK or EUâ€¦learning about Glennâ€™s app thru our listâ€¦will start one up which covers other landsâ€¦



â€¦letâ€™s keep things on a light noteâ€¦

My apologies to Glenn - I didn’t intend to appear harsh. I just thought it might save a bit of frustration for potential users if he mentioned the geographical limits when announcing the app.



And I’m sure he is not intending to “con us”! (I’ve never come across “continental USA” abbreviated in that fashion!)

Thanks my friends!



It's a bit tough in the colonies keeping up with the linguistic trends.

It seems to take five to ten years for BBC hits to make it over here.



I'm afraid I'm still stuck in Top Gear
