What a great airport!! On 2-2-09 I flew a skyhawk in (8287L) and parked it for a few hours while I visited with family. I returned late in the day to depart around sunset. Unfortunately my plane would not start. Thought it might be the battery so the girl at the counter (sorry I forgot your name) had a couple guys come out and look at it. Keep in mind, it was like 5 degrees and windy! They put a charge on the battery and after about 20 min. Still nothing. Now we figured it might be the starter solenoid. The girl then called a mechanic who was about to leave and could have, but came out to take a look in the freezing cold windy weather. After tapping on the starter, we were able to finally get it started. If it weren’t for this awesome staff going out of their way to help us, we would have had to rent a car and drive back to Fort Wayne. The next day I had some pizzas delivered for the staff...It was the least I could do. Thank again, Frank J. Kozielski Smithfield airport Fort Wayne, IN

05C is a small, hometown, very friendly, no taxiway, no ILS airport. The FBO has everything you need including low fuel prices. It also has a very good independent restaurant. A busy part 141-flight school also resides here. (One of only a few parts 141 in Indiana) I have been coming to this airport since 2002 and never had a problem. They always make you feel like family.

I have been to this airport several times. The ramp can be a bit crowded and while there are parking spots there are not tie downs that I have been able to locate. So far I have not asked since I am only on the ground for a few hours. My last trip I returned after the FBO closed but they leave a gate open so one can get on the ramp easy.

Not sure of the source of angst of previous post. Arrived at 05D on 5/10. No bad issues to report. Parked the plane and was on my way. Note that a Hertz car is available at the FBO for less than $40 a day + gas (Call ahead, only 1 car). Departure was prompt. Gave them the keys for the car and was on my way. I'll use Griffith again.

Worst experience I have ever had with an FBO! I called ahead to check hours of operation. I was told they closed at 8pm. I had passengers that were going to a meeting and would not be back until 10pm. The lady was very RUDE over the phone. I spoke to the airport manager and he told me the restaurant on the field was open till 10 that night so I could wait in there. When I arrived 2 line guys standing at front counter playing a video game. Never came out to marshal me in. When I went in I asked were the restaurant was and they said it was closed and has been closed for the last week!! NO crew car!! While waiting in the FBO the employees had friends there and dogs running around. At 7:50pm told me they were closed and I would have to wait outside while it was raining and 40 degrees!! VERY RUDE AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!
Response from Craig Anderson, Manager Griffith Aviation, Inc.
Mr. Zeller contacted me earlier in the day in regards to after hour’s service. He declined our standard after hours fee based service, so instead I suggested he wait in the restaurant located in the terminal building. Unfortunately, I was unaware that the restaurant was closed that day. I reviewed security videos of the evening, and upon arrival, one of our line techs walked in the building with Mr. Zeller and his co-pilot and could not have been playing a video game. We do not have nor advertise a crew car. The "friends there" was our receptionist’s boyfriend and dog, which was her ride home from work. All three employees punched out at 8:00 p.m. I apologize to Mr. Zeller for the negative experience he had here. We attempt to provide good service to our customers, however we apparently failed this time.
