Some smaller airports are pretty sleepy. There's no control tower at his home airport (Corona Municipal Airport) and it doesn't look like there's an FBO there.

Some smaller airports are pretty sleepy. There's no control tower at his home airport (Corona Municipal Airport) and it doesn't look like there's an FBO there. There's probably generally no one at the airport unless someone is there to take their plane up. Even if there is someone there running out to the ramp every time they hear a plane startup would get tedious very quickly.

- b112 1y agoThere are even just 'airfields' here, if that's even the proper name. They're just well maintained grass fields with a place to tie up a plane and refueling. Maybe that's too far in a rural area for this conversation though.
- ritabratamaiti 1y agoWhy would we need to tie up a plane? Would they fly away otherwise?
- starkparker 1y agoStrong gusts can move an unsecured plane, and damage its wings, tail, or propellars. Properly securing the plane prevents it from rocking or tilting in a manner that might do those things.
