Forgot to mention... Land on 03 even if there is a slight tail wind (traffic permitting). 03 has a 6% uphill grade.

Bo of Touchdown Aviation is the best. He gave me great advice on parking and towing the plane to the gas pumps. I'm a new pilot and he was extremely helpful. I had a great experience there this week with a Tue/Wed overnight and a Thu day trip to visit a client in Windsor. Valley cab arrives by appointment, right on time and is very flexible about changes. Its only $20 (or less in a meter cab) to get to Windsor. I would land at this airport over other more expensive airports since it offers the most important conveniences. Weather permitting I'll be flying there again for this client.
