This airstrip was originally named George Campert Memorial Airport in honor of the builder's brother who died when his USAF bomber crashed in Holland (I believe it was Holland) back in WWII. It's a shame the new owner had to change the name.
Very convenient - nice girl at the counter - line boss was a little rude. Tower guy tried to sandwich me in front of another Cherokee on straight in final - asked me to turn toward the runway from my base leg. I did. Then he complained that I didn't turn enough towards the runway and then gave me a vector - which I followed. If ya want me to turn to a heading - tell me which and I am good - his vector put me on the numbers so my final was never established straight in - more like a 45 degree final. Not a problem really, but he was all pissy that he had to circle the other Cherokee on final - not my bad dude - I was Number 1 - was flying the base leg he told me to fly at an appropriate airspeed for the Arrow - 100MPH.
It's a very nice airport that you can approach a lower than usual altitude on final and get a good short-field landing. Park and walk up the road to a couple of places for lunch. The place across the street is excellent. This place is my favorite destination.
