December 2, 2025Mountain west boys are the finest. Johnny Mac at the Flight Deck Resteraunt was good! Bacon Swiss burger, amazing.

October 29, 2025I had a superb GA experience with this airport and the FBO Mountain West but it was in normal hours. Used uber to go to lunch on the lake but cell service was spotty. Other than the usual higher fuel prices that seem to be common in this type of resort area and Cali I had no other charges.

September 8, 2025Do not land at this location. $10 use fee for aircraft under 5,000 lbs, $26 for over 5,000lbs daily Additionally $15 single/$20 twin per evening. Call out charge $200 per hour. This is not a GA welcoming County. No washroom entry after hours. Flight Deck eatery has been operating since July/2025 and the meal and attention was fine. 3 nearby airports mev, cxp, trk all feature cheaper fuel and are more GA supportive.
