I'm fully aware of all the hoopla that's gone on about the UNC chancellor trying to close this field (it's owned by UNC but open to the public) so it seems like it's a good likelihood that it's going to be here for me to use for the foreseeable future. Incredibly enough, that's due to the NC legislature. Well, not really that incredible, I suppose. The legislators just know from whence the money comes a bit better than the chancellor, and that would be from the big donors who fly their jets and king airs in to the games. (right, David?) At any rate, I finally flew off the 40 hr test period yesterday so was able to fly my -6A into IGX. (Citation 250VP from FAY was blasting off as I crossed midfield) I tied her down on the grass and covered her up for her first night outside. I then wandered around the facility a bit to get the lay of the land. The only person manning the fbo was a sleepy looking student who didn't have much to offer about long term tie downs or hangars. He did say they were available, however. A Baron pilot, however, gave me some information that really got my attention. He told me that experimentals aren't allowed to base at Chapel Hill and that because the university doesn't take any fed money they can pretty much set any policy they want. Well, I'm not only an NC taxpayer but my whole family has graduated or attended one branch of the university or another and I'm pretty upset at the possibility of not being able to use this airport the way I want. Has anyone else heard of this policy? Why would they have such a policy? Or is this just scare tactics by a snobby twin driver? (he didn't seem that snobby) He advised me to talk to the 2nd in command at the fbo on Monday, that he was more "realistic" than the fbo manager. I intend to do that but thought I'd ask if anyone else has any info on this alleged policy. And while I'm at it, does anyone have any info on hangar availability at Burlington or Sanford? Those are my next closest options (35-40 minutes) after IGX.

We've recently moved to NC also, and have found it to be decidedly more difficult to fly in than Alabama--harder to find hangars, less "friendly" to general aviation, let alone experimentals. We hope we've just fallen into a bad crowd (ROFL) and that things will pick up. We have our RV-6A under a shed at Farmville (N08), and actually left our plane at IGX for a week or so when we were enroute in our move (weather socked us in during Charley--talk about nervous wrecks, leaving it sitting outside during a hurricane!). No one seemed to be surprised that we were there, or ever mentioned that our "experimental" couldn't use the field. They were pretty fanatical about charging us the $10 per day, however. Pitt-Greenville is NOT general aviation friendly at all, unless you've got a couple of jets on your wings. So plan on trying to find Farmville if you head this way...it's a nice little grass strip, and a great group of guys flying out of there. Let us know when you want to do some local flying...seems like most of the flying stuff on the list thus far has been well east of us, and even when Dennis actually flew over to Mocksville one day, he didn't catch anyone at home. Our EAA chapter fly-in was a couple of weeks ago, but we'll be doing that again May 21, so plan on coming to see us then (if not before).

I've been living in fayetteville for a long time and still have a T hangar there that I intend to keep for a while until I get more things finished on this flying project. The word I got on IGX was that apparently they'll let experimentals land and tie down but they can't be based there. Sounds a bit like the fbo will take the money but not much else. My "local" flying may be out of FAY for a while unless I can get something worked out at IGX better than $10 a day. For what it's worth, FAY, and SE NC in general, seem to be pretty experimental friendly. If you haven't blasted down for a coastal cruise I'd sure recommend it. We used to blast off out of FAY in my friend's Bonanza for a 1.5-2 hour trip around Cape Fear about sunset. Just gorgeous. I'll get out your way soon.
