TDY Gouge - Kansas

Forbes Field, KS - So we show up (KC-10) to move some humvees and Army troops from there to LA. The FBO people (Millionair) wander on the jet about 2 minutes after the TALCE guys and proceed to tell us that if we don't buy gas, that we won't get to use their airstairs...what a crock. Don't believe them, the Army paid for those "oh so beautiful airstairs on the back of a 1968 Ford" and donated them to the city. Millionair doesn't really have a say, so tell them to piss off!! ~Topeka Capitol Plaza Hotel 785-431-7200 was probably the nicest hotel in town. Usually has government rates. Kind of like an Embassy Suites. Hotel has a bar/resturant inside and it's next to an expo center. Hotel is pretty close to Forbes as well (10 minute drive). When flying in to Forbes, don't forget the ANG for fuel and services if million air can't help (24 HR CP is 720-4663 or 1-800-551-5276x4663.
