July 1, 2026I stopped mainly for the cheap fuel. The building had a decent bathroom and even a shower. I'd stop here again.

June 25, 2026Came in here in thick IMC on my first visit. Maybe not the smartest call. Be aware the LNAV+V has terrain on the final portion, and the final approach is offset from the extended centerline. Taking off west is likely the better option since trees sit uncomfortably close to the runway's east end.
