    $7 departure fee for single-piston was unexpected, but can't say I investigated before going there. Unfortunately the on-airport restaurant/bar is outside the fence and you need the assistance of the FBO to get in/out. Be careful of the unmarked Hot…

    Overall a nice airport but the $15 fee for departure gets really annoying. The folks at Three Wings Avaiation are fantastic.

    We went to KBDR a couple of days ago. I'm a German pilot living in NY and wanted to go to the coast for the first time, so we chose KBDR. I read all the comments, but tried it anyway... As FBO we chose Atlantic Aviation, I called the day before. The…
