Treasure Coast International (KFPR)

We used Fort Pierce/Jet Center for both departing from and returning through the Bahamas. The line crew and office staff were excellent. The one downside: the CBP office beside the FBO never answered the phone, even after I spent the whole day trying to reach them from the Bahamas before heading back to the US. I had filed with Flashpass, but still needed to call CBP before the flight to get landing permission. Jet Center recommended contacting CBP at the Palm Beach airport instead, and they answered immediately.

Stopped in here both going to and coming back from Exuma. The controllers were friendly, the FBO was great, and Customs went smoothly. Way better than FXE. Tower opens at 7am.

Jet Center does the right thing, AGAIN! What a professional and much-appreciated business. The lineman came over to meet me in the Customs Box and offered help with anything I might need -- fuel, chocks, etcetera. I told him I'd check in with CBP and then head over to Jet to pay the facility fees, ASAP, and that I was okay on fuel. He said if I was just doing a quick-turn, there were NO facility fees. That was a really nice "USA Welcome Home" after I emptied my piggy bank to help the Bahamian Aviation Authority fill theirs! THANK YOU JET.
