Airport Information
Thomas C Russell Field Pilot Reviews:
Nelson O.
March 14, 2026Came up from southern Florida on the way to Tennessee. Had a weather front to deal with, and fuel was easy to get to. The guy inside was very helpful with storing my plane and sending me in the right direction for a hotel. I’ll definitely be using this FBO again.
Mariano O.
March 10, 2026One of our flight school airplanes ended up stranded at this airport. Jackson, the airport manager, was phenomenal — he lent us tools and equipment and took great care of both us and the airplane the entire time. He even did it on his day off, when the FBO was supposed to be closed. I highly recommend this airport, with the feeling that anything connected to it will be a plus.

December 22, 2025Would not suggest this FBO. Manager is quite unfriendly and cannot make the time to step away from his two friends in the office to let me in the gate. I have never been to a more unfriendly FBO.
