Call first to check fuel prices at Lanmar. I called toady and they were $1 higher for avgas than listed here!

I've made several trips here over the past year while training for my PPL, and have returned several times since for short jaunts into Mystic. The folks at Lanmar have been fantastic each time I've deplaned here.
