I'm present here every month or so and find this FBO to be quite capable and in some instances outstanding. They are very willing to manage enterprise or hertz for you, just email your member numbers. Yes the municipality will bill you for some sort of fee which is bothersome but not the FBO's fault. Be advised that NYC airspace is in a fair amount of confusion, be prepared for long IFR departure times, I've waited over an hour, and / or drastic re-routes.

Flew in in a Bonanza 6/4/25. Essex county mailed me a $10 landing fee a few days afterward. Not good.

Flew in to drop off a patient for a PALS mission. FBO was clean and the personnel were friendly. Ramp fee was waived for the PALS mission even with no fuel purchase.
