    Let start by saying that I have been flying into this airport since the 1970's. There have been many FBO'S in that time. Ramp66 being the last one. The controllers are the best. Wish I could say the say the same now that the county has taken over bu…

    FBO was clean and inviting, staffed by helpful employees. Tower was very professional and calm in handling traffic. The beach is in walking distance through the Windy Hill community for those willing to brave the summer heat. KCRE is one of the few u…

    Randall and the nice lady behind the counter were very friendly and helpful! It was raining and they tugged my A/C into an open hanger so I could preflight and load passengers without getting soaked. Many thanks and job well done! Excellent service! …

    Dropped in to KCRE yesterday but was hesitant to land there after some less than favorable comments posted by others in the past. But I must say, no matter what they past issues may have been, they are long gone. The airport was beautiful, the towe…

    I fly into KCRE often as part of my flight training to get experience on towered airports and flight following from KMYR. The ramp fee ($12, offset if you buy gas) was an unfortunate surprise. My flights to KCRE will be much less frequent in the futu…

    Flew in on 9/7/2013. Newly paved runway, and the tower operator was great to work with, pointing out the banner tow aircraft. The FBO staff couldn't have been nicer. However apparently a local government now is in charge and there was a ramp fee. You…
