Stopped for an overnight on a ferry flight from NC to TX (J-3).
Line staff stayed late to give us a hangar. Fuel was priced right, crew
car was excellent, and airport was very nice. Multiple runways in great
shape and will stop here next time I am in the area.

I was ferrying my new experimental
airplane from Florida to Indiana and stopped here to have lunch and attend
to some maintenance issues before continuing. The
FBO personnel were very
friendly and accommodating. Line personnel were prompt and courteous when
fueling the plane and providing a hangar for it. Courtesy car was readily
available and was NOT the barely running junk-bucket normally used.
Naturally I added more gas than I used. Mechanics were professional and a
lot of fun to work with! I would go out of my way to visit these people
again. I encourage you to do the same.

Landed due to wx.
Staff was most helpful. Was given the use of a nice crew car for dinner.
Plenty of nice hotels and a few decent eating options within a 3 mile
drive of the airport. Should have overnighted
here but tried to make it home, only to get stuck in another airport much
farther from civilization!

Had to land due to bad weather. They let me use crew car to get a hotel
room. Very hospitable. I will definitely stop again.
From R.D. Marshall on 04/17/10
I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for the over the
top treatment afforded to me during a recent stopover at your
FBO. A
special thanks to John who worked after hours to see that everyone's needs
were met. I have been flying for 32 years and have to say that the overall
operation of your facility and staff ranks among the finest that
i have
visited. I will definitely add this stop to my future plans and
i plan to
tell all of my friends as well.
Thanks Again,
R.D. Marshall

Recently visited KGAD for a state playoff game. Met by a
host of nice and helpful airport staff. I pre-arranged a rental car and
one was not available by my arrival and the staff was able to arrange a
courtesy car on very short notice. Excellent facility and extremely
helpful professionals. I will definitely return.
From Joel Mason on 10/27/09
Great stop for a X/C. Loved the upstairs pilot lounge. Will
return.
From Brandon Bolde on 05-Apr-2008
Stopped in for the night on our way to Florida from Michigan. It was
just barely after hours and the line guy appeared out of nowhere with his
jeep. He gave us a crew car and a great discount at the Comfort Inn, then
fueled and tied the plane down. Excellent service! We'll stop in whenever
able to. Thanks!

October 13th, 2007. I flew into Gadsden for my third time today
...This time officially as a cross-country trip. These folks really know
how to make a pilot feel welcome to Gadsden, as soon as I touched down the
operators at the FBO were in contact with me to direct me to the ramp area
through the construction and check on any needs that I may have had, I was
asked to hang around for the "dogs" at lunch time, however I had to make a
quick turn around. The guy in the "Red Coupe" will be back to
KGAD & take
you up on lunch real soon !!! Thanks Once Again!!
From Dan Yeast on 31-May-2007
This is one of my usual stops on my way to Sun N' Fun. Great service,
free courtesy car, nice town with lots of good restaurants. Reasonably
priced fuel too! 5 stars.
From Steve Coon on 05-May-2007
Stopped in on a dual X/C with a student.
FBO is not where you would
think it is but it is very nice. Has an upper area that overlooks the
field, which was a good place to relax after a demanding leg on the X/C.
From Ralph Glasser, MD on 07-Jan-2007
Fuel stop. Lineman directed us into the
AirBP ramp, not the other one
(Chevron?). Fast, courteous service, nice lounge facilities, cool airport
dog, free popcorn. I got weathered in there two Christmas' in a row (not
this time) and everyone was extremely helpful. Excellent GA facility.
From Stanley Kothmann on 21-Oct-2006
Back in September of 2006, my wife and I stopped in Gadsden for a
weeks stay. On arrival at KGAD, we were met by a lot of really nice folks
at the FBO, and they took care of our plane and rental car requirements,
and got us on the road to our destination post haste. After our visit to
family and friends, we were departing on the 13th to fly back to Texas,
but a mechanical problem delayed our departure till the next day. All of
the folks at the Northeast Alabama Regional Aviation
FBO were more than
helpful, and helped us correct the problem and get on our way. These are
some of the kindest and most helpful folks I have ever had the pleasure to
meet. We are looking forward to seeing them again in the near future. They
did on heck of a job!
From Scott C Bartley on 23-Jul-2006
Friendly FBO. Free popcorn and "jet" dogs. The
FBO is in another
building, not the one marked FBO. The inside of the
FBO is near new and
very clean.
