Stopped here on a Friday night after a long 4-hour cross-country leg. It was around 7pm and the airport was very quiet. However, the staff at Million Air were some of the most professional and accommodating I have encountered. This was planned to be a fuel stop before heading out for another short leg on the cross-country. Line service had the plane fueled in no time and ready for me to hop back in. However, I decided to cancel the next leg, and they were more than accommodating, going back out to chock and cone the plane for an impromptu decision for overnight stay. In addition, of particular note is Crystal. When I changed my plans at the last minute, she jumped on the phone and called to arrange for lodging for me, hooked me up with a courtesy car for the evening, and recommended a fantastic local establishment for dinner. If you're flying anywhere near Topeka, Kansas, Million Air at Forbes Field is the place to go.

Millionair is professional run and the cafe at the FBO serves a great barbeque. The multiple air force landings is a good sign the food standard is of quality. Friendly FBO staff and quick fuel service is always appreciated. A little high on price for 100LL, but given $112/barrel oil I guess that goes with most FBO's.
