Awesome Class Delta airport with really friendly controllers. Runway 18/36 was recently repaved and is smooth as glass!!! The FBO sits on the other side of the field from the tower, southwest of 18/36. Always a pleasure flying in and back out of here!!! Thanks!!!

Good people, fine location. Be careful Foreflight's charges for a fast turn are not correct. $250 charge for a quick turn in a single Turboprop. Foreflight indicated the charge for that type was only going to be $50. Live and Learn!

I did want to add to my prior remark that the airport and fbo is fine, and I got in and out quickly with good assistance.
