Everyone at KT aero was awesome. They drove me over to the air museum and food court for tacos, then came back to pick me up.

Stopped by Castle a few days back. The FBO crew were genuinely great to deal with. They gave us a ride over to the lunch trucks as a courtesy, then came back for us too. Really helpful, friendly people.

Bob from KT Aero gave my family and me a lift over to the museum in their golf cart. Super friendly folks and really accommodating. The museum is definitely a must-see, with some amazing aircraft on display!
