October 23, 2025Airport well kept. Have been to Barteld Aviation before and they are amazing. This time needed to park at main airport building, next door, and use crew car. Unfortunately, we could not reach anyone. A message in the main building states to call manager. No one answered or called back.

August 29, 2023My stop went fine. The gas facility was well kept, worked on the first try and the airport tarmac and runways we well kept. Nice facility and I would stop again when in the vicinity.

July 30, 2022Wow. Where do I start. Gas pump is broken. Guy comes out in the rain on Sat morning in a lightning storm and fixes it. Hot start on my Baron and I burn out my starter. We overnight a starter. They give us the crew car overnight. Seriously? Then the mechanic comes in Sat morning and replaces the starter and charges us normal rates. Gas guy won’t take a tip. I mean, they could not have been more efficient and kind. BTW the runways are great and the facility is fine.
