Super nice. I called a day or two ahead and Monica saved us a car. the lineguys were on top of their game and had us chocked and strapped down almost before we were out. My son and I went to see the UP 4014 Big Boy steam engine.
3 runways 2 grass 1 cement look to be in good shape. Went down to work on an irrigation engine. Was a sign on nice big hanger “for sale or rent” I would love to have it at home.
Somebody needs to alert the FAA then, because it's still in their database and according to them they verified the data with the facility owner in 1993.
This airport has not operated in over 35 years. It is close
Cheapest fuel around SE Kansas. 3.00/gal for 100LL after Tax! they sell Auto also, 1.89.gal and Jet A 3.59/gal. The airport is under new managment. They now have wireless internet, and vending services. Has a "vintage" feel to it. The manager had said the possibility of having "Dawn Patrols" on the weekends in the future. If anybody has been to one they know they are a lot of fun!
Very quaint old-style country airstrip. Self serve fuel, friendly people. There is a Husky dealer (Wayne Clements) on the field. You can buy a nice house on the property close to the hangars or the strip.
There is a full-service FBO here. The airport is at the north edge of town, away from the complicated airspace around the other (12+?) airports at Wichita. Fuel is expensive, but they have lots of hangars in case of thunderstorms during an overnight stop. Lots of hotels with shuttles to pick you up.
Stopped here enroute Arizona. There is a large Pilatus dealership on the field. We sat drinking our water while watching a private owner inspect his brand new Pilatus. Jealous? Me?
They had a BBQ going and we got free burgers - so we didn't feel too bad.
