September 2, 2025Had morning meal today at the Taildragger Cafe. Good food at fair costs. Transient Parking right in front. Many glider activity during the summer.

June 10, 2025Hutt Av is non-attentive. Straight up attitude was if you're not driving a G4 or more...0 cares given. Save yourself the trouble and park at transient and use self-serve. Carson city is close and there's plenty of glider activity in the area. My business may be only a couple times a year, but I'll take it elsewhere.

February 19, 2025Transient parking is simple to find and many spaces were available on a Saturday afternoon. Would suggest the Taildragger Cafe for a delicious meal. Their tater tots are quite yummy, and dining establishment personnel are welcoming. Also, self-serve fuel is a direct procedure.
