Hi listers,



My wife and I will be arriving for a vacation to Branson this next Saturday

May 2nd and will stay a week.  It was our intent to land at the new BBG but

apparently that is not going to be an option.  I am told our next best

location is PLK - Taney County Airport.  I am not sure how far this is from

downtown Branson but also wondering about safety, security, and such at this

airport.  Does anybody have any info regarding this location?  My RV-6 has a

canopy cover and tie downs so I think it would be OK outside for a week

stay.  Are there any RV builders at this airport currently?

Thanks for any info.

Hi Tim,

 I live in Topeka, Ks. and have flown into PLK in my VariEze several times.  I've never had trouble with security.  There are usually 10 to 20 planes on the field depending on dates.  Rental cars are available or if all you want is a burger, borrow their courtesy car.  The approach from the north brings you in over Branson which gives you a great preview of the city.  It's a kick to fly into this airport.  Check Airnav or aeroplanner for details.  Fave shows are Pierce Arrow and the Oakridge Boys (when their in town).

  

 Steve

morning, I am based at fayetteville ar, have flown  into that airort once, looks very well cared for. If you land on the westerly,  you will be flying very low over the main hyway and aproach is at end of very  high embankment. When I came in I had a pretty stiff X-wind but runway very  good.  little spooky to be low over cars and looking at that embankment.  Charlie H

Been there several times in RV-6A.  One of my favorite airports.  Never any  problems with security or safety.  They did have a tie down fee, and high price gas.  It is much closer to downtown than the new airport.  I have not been there for a year or so since my favorite sister moved!



When I arrived from the west (Denver) I always came over the town and lakes, very scenic.

Almost always a cross wind.

Thanks everyone for the comments about Branson.  It is always nice to get some insight on where you are going from those that have been there before.  It should be a good trip and I anticipate we will have fun.  I emailed with the airport and they told me $10 per night for tie downs so I guess that is what it will be.  I may consider fuel before arriving or after leaving so I can shop for a better bargain.  

Thanks again

Why can't you land at BBG?

The airport doesn't officially open until Monday following the airshow.

They had previously said they would do everything they could to have it

available for GA landings.  On the website this week it says "Fly-In traffic

will not be permitted to the Branson Airport (BBG), but two nearby airfields

will be available. Space is limited so please contact the following airports

for details". And lists PLK as one of them and HRO at Boone County as the

other.  It seems a bit off to me but not knowing the logistics, how could I

say.

This is a big deal apparently as this airport is Corporate commercial.  You can check out the scheduled airshow here:  

http://www.bransonairshow.com/  

   

Also here it says no GA Fly-ins.  

http://www.bransonairshow.com/ga-flyins.asp  

   

Here is the link to the actual airport with web cams of the construction.  

http://www.flybranson.com/  

   

This airport opens on May 11th but the airshow is May 8-10th.
