Columbus Municipal Pilot Reviews:

October 17, 2025One of the most pleasant ATC handlers I've ever encountered. It was my initial visit ever and didn't know the taxi route (not that it is too complex) to the museum. ATC let me know that was not an issue and virtually guided me through. The Diner that looks out to the ramp had good food as well! One that I'll certainly be returning to if I'm ever in the vicinity. Wonderful experience from everyone working at that field!

October 2, 2025We flew in for fuel and lunch. KBAK has welcoming ATC and support personnel. The food was terrific and quite reasonable. After lunch my wife suggested a brief drive to town. The crew car was a new Honda civic. After using dozens of old sherif cars we both agreed that it was finest crew car we've ever utilized!

September 19, 2025Friendly Delta controllers and handy self service Avgas on far end of ramp. Fine terminal building with tidy restrooms. The Museum is right next to the terminal. Bicycles available for use on airport property.
