- 4/26/15SEBASTIAN C.We have another great place to eat. It is called The Beacon. It is in the main therminal. And it is a family owned and did I say Pilot owned. The food was good and if you like Greek cooking stop on down phone number is 1-860-440-8387.
- 5/22/14ANTHONY D.flew in 5/17, very friendly staff and nicely equipped fbo. Very laid back controller on the way in. 5 mile drive to Mystic is worth the trip.
