- 7/16/16LESTER K.We flew my Mooney Ovation from ARR to DEC for dinner at Main Hangar on a Saturday night. I purchased 10 gallons of fuel at Gaitros Aviation, which closes at 7:00PM on Saturday. Our departure was spoiled by an inoperative starter. We stayed the night …
- 7/12/13MARK W.Nice airport, good approaches, friendly controllers in the tower. The folks at Gaitross are nice enough, but they still stuck me with a $5 landing fee when I delivered a dog there on a rescue mission.
