November 18, 2025New FBO does now provide complimentary rides to and from the museum in their 10 passenger golf cart. Had them fill up the tanks while we were exploring. Solid experience.

September 28, 2025Kevin from KT Aero went above and beyond, driving us to the museum and the food court nearby, helping us out even when he did not need to. We would gladly return in the future.

July 15, 2025Under fresh direction. Flew in this day. Group was quite welcoming. I WAS given a lift to (and back from) the museum. (Why is there no entry to the museum without needing a ride or walking around?) Fuel is inexpensive and the runway is superb for instruction with a fairly low volume of traffic. Crew vehicle not accessible but they mention they are exploring getting one. If you wish to observe C130s performing touch and goes, this is the location. Good fortune Bob and crew!
