    I decided against even stopping at Asheville. I read the reviews and the AOPA concerns with the Signature monopoly but gave them a call anyway. Suffice it to say that confirmed all the concerns the AOPA has with the situation there. I shined them …

    I was there in my 210 from Thursday 6/14 until Sunday 6/17 for a wedding. My experience at Signature was the opposite of that of Mark M. I purchased 34 gallons of 100ll. My total bill for this and three nights on the ramp was $290. Also, when I check…
