In and out of KBWG yesterday. Same comments as others on service and professionalism of the staff at Co-Mar. Rented a car from Enterprise for the day and the coordination with Co-Mar for pick-up and drop-off and paperwork couldn't have been better. By the time we tucked plane away, walked through FBO, care was pulled up with the AC running! GREAT EXPERIENCE will be back!

B.WIER Was on our way to Florida and KBWG was our overnite/fuel stop. Was very glad we decided to make KBWG and Co-Mar Aviation our stop. We pulled under their huge covered portico, which was nice, since storms were in the area, and was given the red carpet treatment. Then after we were fueled up and unloaded, not only did they provide shuttle service to the motel we were staying at for the night, but also offered to pick us up and transport us back to the airport the next morning!!! We took them up on that!! Very nice folks and nice service, and you bet the next time we are on our way to Florida again we will be making Co-Mar our fuel stop again.

I landed and got fuel 9.24.11. Scott and Kevin were very polite. They took us to eat and picked us up. Worked with Scott the most. Very proud of you for the attention u gave us and our C210. Thanks johnny swalls, IFR pilot at Terre Haute, HUF. Thanks again. 812.249.5090. I will stop again.

Came to visit the area for some recreation at Barren River Lake Resort. Staff was very accommodating, 10 gal fuel cancels the facility fee, I was not charged for parking/tie down for three nights. The covered portico was interesting, never seen one before at an airport FBO.
