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!
