Friendliest FBO I've ever been to!
I spent some time in Beatrice on business. Friendliest FBO staff I've ever seen. I landed in 2010 during the summer heat wave, and I was literally dead on my feet after 8 hours in a 100+ degree plane. The woman working at the FBO told me to go inside and get some free ice water and she would refuel my airplane (at the self service pump) and find me a place to stay overnight. They charged me fuel at the self-service rate, even though they put the fuel in for me. I've been back a few times and every time Beatrice is always as friendly as it was the first time.
