July 31, 2025Fun little airport. FBO does not have a crew car even though Foreflight states so. Obtain the gate code prior to arrival if coming after hours as it is not posted on the interior of the door.

January 25, 2025Have to call to have breakers turned on... Woman was rude and took pictures of my friend and me. Then took pictures of the plane and in the windows... drove up in a county vehicle and demanded I give her my receipt. I didn't and she said she needed its data... I said if they needed that they could get it from the pump... Over priced and poor representation. Would advise to stay away from here...
