Anyone know who I can talk to about vehicle passes? A number of us flying in but staying off airport have yet to find a good way to get bags and cargo from our planes to our lodging and back again for departure. Having a vehicle pass, even one of limited duration, would be a godsend but I don’t know if such a thing is possible or how to go about requesting one.
When you find that out, let the other "10,000 fly-in airplanes" know.
There's Tony's Taxi.
Is this taxi allowed on the airfield and onto the parking areas? If so do you have their contact info? The idea is to be able to Sherpa an RV-10’s worth of cargo in one go without transloading at a gate.Quote:

Before and after the show, the Kobussen folks can get their vehicles inside the gate, so that may be an option if you arrive early and leave late. Beyond that, there is the Homebuilt Welcome wagon, which will take you a little ways off campus (not sure how far).
If the welcome wagon will go to sleepy hollow then that’s an option. My biggest concern would be getting them to come back out when we’re ready to depart.
They took us to the event where I saw you on Monday night. I don't think Sleepy Hollow would have been a problem.Quote:

Sigh. I know that. Unfortunately I still have to get all of our crap from the plane to that point. The whole objective of this exercise is to try and do it without loading and unloading multiple times in the process. If that's what we have to do, then so be it, but I figured it's worth exploring all the options.Quote:

Understand completely and will do -- Thanks !
I was thinking you could taxi the plane to that point on the field. But I don't know if they allow airplanes to taxi around or not?Quote:

Even if I could taxi wherever I wanted (which you can’t), the Uber/Lyft pickup points are off the airport outside the perimeter fence. The scale of the online maps kinda hides the impracticality of your suggestion, but I do appreciate your thinking.Quote:
