The folks at Gaitross Aviation are extremely friendly and efficient. Same goes for the folks at main terminal restaurant, which is a 100 yard walk. Tower service was first class and friendly as well. Fantastic stop.

Excellent airport and FBO. Friendly service and nice facility with flight planning room for pilots with nice computer. Also, there is an excellent restaurant on the field. Great food and service!

Fantastic tower service. We were coming after dark, and it's very hard to pick out the airport lights amongst the rest of the light clutter. The tower controller turned the ry 30 lights up bright, and turned off the rest of the airport lights . That made it a whole lot easier to find the runway!!

I've ate at the restaurant - good food! Great Sunday brunch
