Yes there should be as long as I remember to get the pump card from Jack or as long as the airport manager is there.
Worst case scenario is there is a gas station about three miles away that sells Kero...

It was a good getting to finally put some faces to all the people I talk to on this board. With the exception of one nose gear that didn't lock down... I don't thing there was a single indecent.
Here's a few pics of the day.

Thank you to all that came, we had a great day Friday and Saturday,

Had a great time in Titusville. It was a good warm-up for KY.
Hey Scott,
Guess what my wife bought me for Father's Day the next morning.

I received an e-mail from the reporter from the local Titusville news paper, he printed the following article in the Saturday morning paper:
By Joshua Sterling

As a treat to local model jet enthusiasts, the Oil Creek Flyers, an area turbine jet club, will be having a "fun fly," taking off at 9 a.m., today, and soaring through the day until around 5 p.m., at the Titusville Airport.
The fun fly is a "spring edition to Octurbo-fest," an annual model jet airplane show held at the Titusville Airport, said club member Rich Miller, of Erie. Miller said that the event will feature 12 to 15 pilots from around the tri-state area, including pilots from Pittsburgh, New York state and Cleveland. Miller said that the O.C. Flyers have about eight members currently, but the event will feature pilots from other clubs and areas.
When asked what speeds the aircraft can achieve, Miller said that "we're only allowed to go up to 200 mph."
Club members said Friday that the event is just a fun day to be at the airport flying and that there is no fee for spectators as it is open to the public.
Scott Miller, of Brockport, N.Y., who makes a living by working on a Gulfstream 5, has been flying model airplanes for 27 years. Speaking about the $5,000-$10,000 price tag for these models, Miller said, "It's addictive. That's why we spend the crazy money we do."
The Titusville Airport is located at 2572 Meadville Road, Titusville.
