August 15, 2025Fine small airport. Michel, the airport manager is super friendly and there are 2 courtesy cars available for use. Town is within walking distance and has a handful of cool spots around. I stopped by the Pepper Mill restaurant that Michel suggested to me and the food there was good!

August 19, 2024Beware of Canada geese. I struck one or more this morning just after the wheels left the ground, causing damage to the right wing leading edge of my Bonanza. Fortunate it did not strike the propeller or windshield.

October 7, 2021Good airport! Self serve fuel was quite simple to locate and simple to utilize. 2 courtesy cars available. We used one of them, no issues. Fine long and good quality paved runway with fine lighting. Will certainly return!
