Flew into GRR for a day trip and was treated well by all of the controllers from clearance to tower. I went to Avflight FBO which was superb. I'm thankful for these larger airports continuing to be so supportive of GA pilots.

10/20/2024 First time flying my Mooney into GRR. Approach, tower and ground are a first class act. The FBO I used was Avflight, my wife and I were very impressed with their facility and how courteous and professional the entire staff was. I noticed it didn't matter if you arrived in a corporate jet or small single, everyone received the same courteous treatment. Overnight hangar and fuel prices are inline.
