Flew in early to beat the rush.
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.
Fuel stop
Great guy at the desk. Didn’t seem to mind at all that we came in a half hr before closing.
re: VOR/DME 34 approach to be canceled
Thanks for your work creating this web site. I love it and have told all the other local pilots about it.
Fuel stop
Less expensive than at home
Stopped over to deliver parts.
Nice airport. Nice courtesy car that they allowed us to reserve ahead of time.
Stopped in for fuel
Just stopped in for fuel on my way by.
Plain little Airport
Went down do deliver parts and to work on a center pivot
Nice airport
Fuel pump card control wasn't working but friendly local helped out.

Nice facility
Cheap fuel prices

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
This airport is closed and not maintained.
code 65KS
The FAA uses '65KS' for Griffith Field Airport, Downs, Kansas
Cheap Gas, Great Service, Under New Managment!
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!
Closed?
Used to be in FAA data, isn't any more.
Nice Little Place!
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.
Good Fuel Stop at Wichita
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.

Check out Flower Aviation. Great facility and nice folks to
GCK is ALWAYS windy so be prepared.
Home of Cessna
As the name implies, this is where 172s, 182s, etc. start out their lives. It's only 2 miles from the rival Beech Factory Field (KBEC).
Home of Beechcraft
As the airport name suggests, this is where Bonanzas, Barons, etc. take off from the first time. It's only 2 miles from Cessna's home field (KCEA).
Pick Up Your New Pilatus PC-12
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.
