December 22, 2025Would not suggest this FBO. Manager is quite unfriendly and cannot make the time to step away from his two friends in the office to let me in the gate. I have never been to a more unfriendly FBO.

September 25, 2025Landed on a Saturday around noon. FBO was locked and there is no UBER service in this town. The FBO is closed on the weekends. I would consider another place to stop. ESPECIALLY on the weekends.

January 19, 2025Why is this new looking FBO closed and locked down on the weekends??? GA are flying on the weekends because we work during the week.
