Comments

Our second time visiting this amazing GA airport in the Grand Rapids area.  I really can't say enough about how much we love this place.  Mike and his team have built a first-rate *community* here.  The facilities are great, with the runway and taxiway surfaces in excellent condition and a huge new concrete transient tiedown ramp.  It features a fuel island (with very competitive prices) that allows taxi in/out for multiple aircraft at a time, the comfortable and clean FBO, friendly service, and crew cars.  Plus a community of friendly people who really went out of their way to help me out with a flat tire on our previous visit.  Add in EAA Young Eagle and AOPA pilot seminars regularly held, and you've got quite a place.  If we lived here, we'd be building a hangar here!
