August 3, 2025Dropped into MBL yesterday for a few hours. FBO staff was wonderful. Gas priced fairly for full serve. Good tie downs. We borrowed the courtesy car for a trip into town for a couple of hours and enjoyed lunch and shopping. Definitely will return!

April 30, 2024Self Serve is not available. It didn’t strike me as the most welcoming FBO for traveling GA despite saying “General Aviation” on the building. Fine facilities though. They seemed to cater to and prioritize a small airline called Cape Air and made GA feel like an annoyance.
