November 30, 2025Amazing FBO with attached eatery. Coffee, tee, restroom with amenities. Pilots lounge with shower and sleep room. Wonderful personnel. Fine background music. No landing or ramp fee, gas purchase is appreciated. Two courtesy cars. I drove a minivan. Personnel had good suggestions. Linesman flagged me in, put chocks under my plane and made sure everything with the plane was good. Good experience

October 26, 2025ATC was friendly and helpful. I experienced a long route change and ground control was in no hurry to review it with me to confirm I understood it correctly. Wisconsin Aviation is a first class facility. Roomy. Well appointed. And the personnel were friendly and helpful. No tie down fees. They topped me off quickly for a fast turn around taking my UW student son home for the weekend. A+
