Comments

A very busy airport and the terminal is a museum.  Someone came out to park me and fuel right away which is always nice. I needed to stay overnight with a rough engine that turned out to be a loose bottom spark plug otherwise would never stop here.  The pilots are friendly and helpful but $15 to park on the grass with the fire ants is simple theft of a captive customer.
