What a superb airport. Tower is very patient especially with the Purdue Av students.

FBO is fantastic. Really friendly and an A&P even took a quick look at something on a Friday afternoon at no charge. Highly recommend the Enterprise close by. Tower is used to students and make themselves very easy to follow - Also superb for one's first time in the field.

Purdue Aviation, NOT managed by the university, billed me $50 ramp charge and $50 parking charge for 6 hours for my Baron. Be ready when arriving there as they are the sole FBO on the field.
