Great service from Tim and Nick on Easter Sunday. Thanks for the support.
- Customer
Flew our KingAir 350 here. New facilities, very sharp. Very professional staff. Maintenance and Avionics in the same building. I had them look at an issue with the FMS and they got right on it. Gary Penrod dove right into it and didn’t stop until it was right. Turned out to be operator error so he didn’t charge me! Great fuel prices, terrific service, our favorite FBO in St Louis from now on!
