September 18, 2024Flew into Ames for an ISU football game. Fine views of campus, Jack Trice stadium, and the Hilton Coliseum on landing Rwy 19. Cordial lineman greeted us on arrival, chocked the plane, and took our fuel order. Reasonably priced fuel and no charge for tiedown door with fuel order. Front desk super friendly. KAMW is a superb airport! Concluded our trip with a photo with "Pilot Cy" outside the FBO. Will certainly return! Thanks Central Iowa Air!
