Chester airport is owned and run by Whelen Engineering. I'm based there. Nicely kept and has 24 hour self service fuel and a good maintenance shop and an avionics shop also. If there's a stiff crosswind, watch for wind burbles and a sink near the threshold especially landing on 35.

Lovely small airport among rolling, tree covered hills. The airport appears well-kept, and runway markings are perfectly clear as of July 21st, 2024. Fuel is quite reasonably priced too!
