Airport Information
Gilliam - MC Connell Airfield Pilot Reviews:
Dennis A.
September 24, 2025Awesome little spot. Visited for BBQ en route from FL to Niagara Falls. Line out the door before they opened on a Saturday. Be on your game, skinny runway. Witnessed a few go-arounds on a somewhat breezy day. Runway conditions are decent, park next to the BBQ joint in grass. Would return!

January 21, 2025Good small airport. Approach to 31is thru a cutout in the trees! Restaurant is quite busy but service is quick. Worth a look if you're in the mood for $100 BBQ

August 22, 2024One of our preferred '$100 hamburger' trips, but do arrive early if it's a fine day. This past Saturday they were out of brisket, pulled pork and even baked potatoes by 2:00.
