ASK AC-U-KWIK: Can't Find That FBO Address?

/

We saw a recent topic in the NBAA AirMail forum that noted some FBOs don't have an address clearly listed on their web sites. We thought it would be a good time to remind the business aviation community that ACUKWIK.com is your best bet for streamlined, quick access to FBO addresses across the world. A single search on the new ACUKWIK.com, launched in March, takes you to your target airport where FBOs with addresses are listed on the main page among other key information.

In addition, top FBOs across the world participate in providing a precise on-the-field location on our AC-U-KWIK FBO locator diagrams. These diagrams are also conveniently located on the main airport page. You may zoom the diagrams for clarity and save them as PDFs for offline use.

ASK AC-U-KWIK: Why are AM radio stations listed in the AC-U-KWIK North American FBO Directory?

/
Yes, the AM radio station list is back and completely updated with the best of talk-radio, sports, gospel, country, oldies and many other genres. After removing the list a few years ago, it is back by popular demand. The frequencies received by the ADF in your airplane (if you actually still have one, that is) include AM radio stations. Not only can you home in on the transmitting tower of a town’s local AM station when using the ADF, you can also pass the lonely miles away listening to Merle Haggard or Sean Hannity. When was the last time your GPS did that?
