Can anyone suggest a good general aviation airport to go into following Oshkosh for a day or two for business ... would need to get a rental car?

 

 Thanks !

Creve Coeur airport (1H0).  Is a very nice GA airport West of STL.  There is an antique airplane museum - 3 hangars worth - on the field ($10 donation for a tour).  

I don't know if any of the recent flooding in that area has affected it.  It's been flooded in the past, so be sure to check.  

If you're looking for something bigger, more commercial, Spirit of St. Louis (SUS) is a bit further west, and St. Louis Downtown (CPS) is in IL, across the river from downtown.  

The other GA airports in the area, St. Charles (3SQ) and Smartt (SET) are nice, but getting a rental car or transport to a hotel will be more difficult.

Len,

  

 Several years ago I was doing a job in ST. Louis and  landed at SUS and was there for 3 weeks.  They were great.  I did,  however, go to Creve Coeur airport and took the $10  tour.  It was  wonderful.  Lots of rare stuff there and they were very friendly as  mentioned by Dennis.

I concur.  Flying my GlaStar from NC to OR last year,  my first stop was a visit to Creve Coeur.  The FBO there, for a modest fee,  put my plane in their hanger for the couple days I was there to do  business.  Got a rental car from Hertz.  People on the field were very  friendly.  Besides a large number of older planes, there's also a Reno  racer of some type.  Not sure the category.  Not sure about the  other airports mentioned, but I would think if it's not been flooded, this would  be a great stop.  .

Depends on what part of town. West and south, KSUS. East and middle KCPS. Creve Couer 1H0 is right by Lambert KSTL.

Creve Coeur has a large EAA following.  Nice airport.

I am based at 1h0.  Lots of rag and tube planes (9 WACOs, 7 

Stearmans, 5 Monocoupes, etc.), lots of warbirds (3 AT6's, 1 SNJ, 1 

P-51, 1 Skyraider), lots of homebuilts, all on the field.  Then there 

are 70 other planes in the museum, almost all of which are flying, 

some really rare and very cool.  Just completed restoration of a 

DH-4, a JN-3, and work in progress on a WACO and a Sopwith pup - not 

replicas.  No flooding since 93.  Rental Car available - just call 

them to have it waiting.  On nice weekend day, many of the hangars 

are open.  Sundays they serve lunch.  Ask around and introduce 

yourself.  Take a look at the chart - just stay under 1400 feet to 

stay under the airspace, right on the Missouri river couple miles 

south of St. Charles, and you're there.  Any other questions, let me know.

David Shaefer has mentioned that Creve Coeur has a large  EAA following.

  

 I am a graduate of Parks College of Aeronautical  Engineering (St. Louis U.).  I have recently built an RV-9A, and we have  maintained good friendships in the St. Louis and S. Illinois area.  We  often return to the area.  Would Creve Coeur make a good home base, for one  or two weeks of visiting, flying and touristing - and does the EAA  fraternity at Creve Coeur include some active Parks grads.  BTW:  I  have been to "the Ranch" since graduation - but with the relocation to the main  campus, perhaps the concept of the Parks experience no longer exists.   Sorry about being off-topic but these kind of memories count, in my book of  aviation experience.  do not archive
