September 21, 2025Outstanding airport! Jim and his crew are wonderful people. Every airport/FBO should strive to provide service at this level. I arrived an hour after the FBO closed, unplanned due to high headwinds. Jim met me at the pump and topped off my plane. He provided me with a car and ideas for hotels and food as well as some fine conversation. I will make it a point to visit when traveling thru PA. Additionally, Wilkes-Barre approach control is great. Some of the best controllers in the country!

March 28, 2025What a good airport to drop into--everyone was so kind, the school seemed to be thriving, and it is in a scenic location in the banks of the Susquehanna River. So welcoming. There's a bike trail/walking path close by. The Booyah Burger restaurant was an easy walk across the street. A taxiway would be superb but everyone was patient and I was told it's coming--although easier access during the summer months when the grass is open.
