February 14, 2026Bob and everybody at KT Aero were really helpful and friendly. Bob pointed us toward transient parking, and his crew got us refueled and even gave us a ride over to the museum. Joey was helpful at the museum, and I ended up signing up for a membership. Can't wait to come back and learn even more about the aircraft and history at Castle! Thank you.

November 18, 2025New FBO does now provide complimentary rides to and from the museum in their 10 passenger golf cart. Had them fill up the tanks while we were exploring. Solid experience.

September 28, 2025Kevin from KT Aero went above and beyond, driving us to the museum and the food court nearby, helping us out even when he did not need to. We would gladly return in the future.
