Went in with a PA 28 140, superb service. Used their reservation app and was quick checking in and out. I got a little puzzled with taxi getting in ground was fine.

Be very thorough in briefing the airport diagram prior to arrival if you aren't based at this location. The FBO is quite simple to navigate to/from. When the grass gets tall some of the signs for the taxiways can be hidden on the east side of 35L/17R to the hangars and south of the triangle. Get progressive taxi if necessary.

I did my instruction at Hooks and it is now my home base in a flying club. I have nothing but good things to express about everyone from the fuel truck drivers to the folks at the front desk at Gill, the food at the Aviator's Grill, and especially the ATC crew in the tower. Hooks is a complex airport with a bunch of flight schools and GA flights, but ATC always keeps it running being friendly, patient, and professional. Many thanks to them! Recently refreshed runway lighting is a major betterment.
