October 31, 2025Fabulous customer service! I call the airport for a 2 night ramp stay. I used ACAR rental car and the car was waiting at the airport for me at shut down. Gary was very nice and topped off the plane and handed me the keys. Stayed at the Sugar Lake Lodge- highly recommended!! Thanks for a good trip and a smooth turn. Will be back !

August 6, 2025Karl and his team were nothing but fantastic. Myself and another co-worker chose GPZ as a basing option for our survey work and they were more than accommodating in terms of hangar space & fuel. Karl unfortunately never had the chance to take us on his boat but I would recommend Airways Aviation as your next stop. Good people!

June 19, 2025The big windowed central building with parking out front that looks like a terminal ... is not - it's the sheriff's office and they don't want you there. Friendly people at the FBO but no one knew what the passport stamp was or where it was situated (I gave up and departed).
