What Micbloo wrote is correct.
There is a flight school there too, so ask to go inside and watch the
simulator
and so on.
I fly with the Civil Air Patrol and our plane is parked there. Many
times
we see families standing there in the parking area and watch us just
over the
fence.... while we do the pre-flight checks and as we start to taxi.
You see the take offs and landings too...
