re: Shuttle/Taxi/Limo Ground Transportation
On 4/14/16 I caught the yellow cab vehicle #494. I informed the driver that I come here often for work. Please do not try to scam me. That is the history of yellow cab and my experience at this airport. What usually cost me $50. Was already close to $70 and we still were not there. I went on the north side where all you have to do is get on the freeway and it takes me straight to my job. Usually get there in 20 to 25 minutes. He did all this extra driving around the entire airport. He went through the mountain which I have never been through in over a year that I have been coming here. This guy is a rip off. I did not allow him to rip me off. But I am sure he has done it to other. I called discount cab to return to the airport. It was a pleasant trip. I feel we should have a selection on which cab we want to use. Yellow cab drivers are a rip off. I will never get in his cab again.
Excellent airport!
This is a great regional airport. Great views. Wide open airfield with great visibility. On field VOR and TWR. FBO (Colgan Air Services [http://colgan-air.com/]) is great to work with and has very good instructors with ground and flight school.
Amazing Airport
If every airport was like this one, I wouldn't complain. Quiet, gorgeous, easy to get through.
Better get it right
It's kind of short and narrow. The trees on the east end can be a bit unnerving for a low time pilot.
It's an airpot
Only did a T&G. I'm just adding airports to my list of airports

re: Shuttle/Taxi/Limo Ground Transportation
We had a great taxi ride experience very late (12:30 AM) on 3/30/16 after arriving Sky Harbor. It was a Checker cab. Can't recall the #.

Excellent breakfast at gas station, walking distance from FBO.

Airport Restaurant
Ocala is a great field to fly into with always friendly service. It has an not-so-busy ILS so instrument ops are great to practice here. The Airport restaurant is great and there is no landing fee. Simply taxi up and get some great food!
Restaurant!
The airport restaurant is great at KLAL. The food portions are more than enough for you to eat and have some to stash in the baggage compartment! The service and food is excellent and there are headsets at each table to listen on freq. while over-watching the field. Great option to fly into!
Caution: Restaurant hours are odd so double check before you fly in!
HiJackers!!
HiJackers is my all time favorite place to fly and get food. Its about an hour from anywhere in Central Florida. The shrimp burger and Coconut shrimp are better than 5 star quality and the view of the pattern in addition to great service make this a must go for your flight plan! Also, the tower is a plus at KFIN, controllers are very professional and helpful. Great Destination airport!
Lunch Buffet
Seriously some of the best home cooking, all you can eat food around. Even more so at a nice airport with great service. $8 all you can eat; what could be better! Great GA 100 dollar "hamburger" flight!
Easy stop for fuel and food in walking distance

It was always a tough and long approach as a TACAN APP 17,000 ft, at PQI decent and right turn to RWY-1 and winters are much harder.

HUGE AIRPORT
But for connecting flights
Great Saturday Pancake Breakfast!!!
Went to the monthly pancake breakfast at Modesto. It's on the second Saturday of every month. Some aircraft are on display so families can check out the planes after the breakfast. 6 bucks for a lot of good food. Not a bad deal at all. Controllers are also some of the friendliest I've ever heard, made me feel welcome!
Will be back!

re: Raytheon Heliport does not exist
The FAA still shows the heliport as active. They also show the location as "Estimated", so it's likely to be in those office buildings nearby. But this wouldn't be the first time nobody bothered to notify them when a private airport/heliport went away.
Raytheon Heliport does not exist
Raytheon no longer has offices nearby, and in any case, the location given for this heliport is a residential neighborhood.
29NC
This private airstrip has been deactivated at this location. 29NC has been reassigned to a private strip near Hillsborough, NC.

IATA code confirmation please?
I just added the IATA code ESP to this airport, and I'm not 100% sure. IATA code lookup shows ESP assigned to "Birchwood-Pocono" in East Stroudsburg, which has been closed since 1996: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birchwood-Pocono_Airpark) However, a few non-authoritative sources have ESP assigned to this airport (do a Google search for "N53 ESP"). Can anybody please confirm this change?
Very Nice Airport and Owner
Visited this airport earlier this fall.
Very convenient to downtown and very helpful owner
No Longer Operational
A farmer bought this property and never bothered to go through the process of getting it changed to a non operational status. The landing strip has been tilled and is used as farm ground.
Great stop
Great fuel prices, great lounge, bunk beds, and a great van. Please take advantage I tell them how nice it is.
Great Little Airport!
Stopped in there on Saturday 9/26/15 for a BBQ they were having which we were told about at the Gettysburg Airport pancake breakfast. Everyone there was so nice and friendly. It felt like someone was having a BBQ in their backyard and Oh, by the way, we have an airport here too. They were even giving free plane rides.
Looks like a great place to have a house and have your plane in your own hangar at home.
No Longer Valid
This reservoir is no longer listed as a valid seaplane base.
FBO
The FBO is still run by FlightLevel, but is now located in the former base ops building (aka the old control tower) at the north end of the runway.
is this really an airport
We were flying from Huntington to Indiana last week and stopped at Vinton County for the first time since Manyak took care of the place. I used to fly into this airport a lot and was shocked at what I found. There are people, as far as I can tell, actually living at the airport. There's garbage and dirty clothes everywhere and it looks like a clubhouse or something. Part of the ceiling had collapsed. My wife said it was actually frightening to go into what is left of the terminal. And don't even ask about the smell.
Pilots 'n Paws
This airport is very PnP friendly and can board animals overnight if necessary. Also give fuel discount on PnP flights.
re: Confirmation?
Reply to @Crimson_Dej: This is the location the FAA has for the heliport.
