September 17, 2025A/FD states there's a landing fee but there is not. Went in to see if I could pay it right there and was greeted with 'No landing fee. Can I give you a ride anywhere?' Wonderful!

July 8, 2025GBR is run by pilots for pilots. A beautiful valley, near the town of Great Barrington (by car), a lovely flight line on mowed grass,and expert maintenance make this airport a real jewel.

April 21, 2025What a good and accommodating airfield! Flew in late in the day, owner on CTAF giving weather and wind updates. Easy tie down on grass apron. Needed a ride to visit family for holiday weekend, was given the crew car for as long as I needed. Incredible generous. Good self serve fuel (no 94UL tho) and overall a fine experience. Thanks again Rick!
