Yea FRG is a small tower that is part time only. It is open from 7am to 11pm local time every day. They have alot of VFR traffic especially on weekends with lots of flight training. The SUNY Farmingdale aviation program is based there and provides a decent amount of steady traffic, as well as a few business type charter companies and FBO's. It does not have any commerical type traffic at the moment but does have as stated lots of VFR and business/charter traffic. I have been there and actually fly out of that airport so if you have any specific questions let me know and I will try and give you an answer.

I got my PPL while I was still living in NY. I've been over there at least a half dozen times. I've got a few pics from XCs that I did of C130 down on the field.

The standard of living is going to kill you on a level 7 salary.

Can't go wrong with that plan.
