April 24, 2025There is an area restricted to pilots in the northwest sector of the airport with big scary signage. Instead proceed northeast from the transient parking for the gate to get in/out of the airport. Do not anticipate obvious signage to inform you of this.

December 24, 2024There is no fuel available via self-serve. It would be good if they posted this, but it's been out of order for months because they cut the line while they are building the new terminal and it doesn't look like it will be fixed anytime soon.

August 30, 2024The FBO is a little hard to spot coming in from taxiway to tie down area (look for the Cirrus sign above the building with a small patio). That said, we were so impressed by the service and friendliness of the personnel! We had to get my husband to a post op appt in town and the gentleman at the front desk quickly and graciously solved our transport issue so we made our appt on time. Thank you Gateway Air!
