We came in for fuel and something to eat. The restaurant was decent, with good food and really great service. The FBO's self-service pump had quit that morning, along with several pieces of electrical equipment on that side of the airport. They fueled my plane from the truck but charged the self-serve rate. I'd stop back in if I were nearby.

DO NOT go to this airport or FBO unless you are willing to risk serious damage to your aircraft. The FBO directed the aircraft into a parking area littered with FOD, which badly damaged a factory-new propeller that had only been installed a few weeks earlier. If they operate the airport like a landfill and cannot be bothered to keep trash and FOD off the tarmac, they have no business operating at all. The aircraft had to be repaired before it could fly again, yet they were still perfectly happy to bill you a parking fee.

Can't say enough good things about this outfit. We came in late and Noah was already there to meet us. He even tucked us into the hangar because strong winds were forecast for the next day. The FBO is beautiful, and even though we didn't get a chance to try Shelby's diner, that's going on the list for next time. Jon got back to the emails I sent ahead of time pretty fast. Great service and friendly folks. It was easy to grab an Uber to nearby hotels. They even keep a good list in the FBO, too.
