From Thomas Dautermann on 27-Apr-2008
Super nice and friendly. Went for a $100 Steak (not Hamburger) to Pilot Pete's. Excellent on airport restaurant, by the way. You get your instrument clearance through an rco that dials a phone to ATC, even though ORD is only 8 miles away.

Great place. Nice facility, nice people, and no ramp fees for $100 hamburger seekers, even when only one B200 away from the door!

I fly into Schaumburg about 6 or 8 times a year and I love this FBO. Betty is the queen of the airport and she takes care of you like no other. Call them on Unicom inbound and your rental will be on the ramp with the trunk open, ready to go. Last visit, I left a bag back at my client's about 10 miles away. Betty immediately offered me her car to go retrieve it and spare the money and wait for a taxi. (Put $50 worth of gas in it, but didn't tell her.) This is a great place, and the restaurant is excellent.

My wife daughter and I flew in for lunch and a quick trip to Westfield mall. We were parked, in our rented 140, by the line staff right in front of the FBO. (Rock Star parking) We were provided the number for the cab ($16 out and $21 back) Nothing but a positive experience all around. We did not take on fuel nor were we charged any kind of landing/parking fee. I even double-checked before we left just to be sure.
 
From Doug Paterson on 15-Jul-2007
Great FBO. Skip & Becky will take great care of you. Posted fuel prices are confusing--there's an additional sales tax of 8.5% on top of the "list" price. They were almost apologetic about 100LL prices--after some friendly conversation, they applied the "local" gas rate & waived the tie-down charges. I'll be back!!
 
From Bill Zink on 05-Jul-2007
Stopped in for a weekend visit to Chicago. This is a very nice FBO with extremely friendly staff. Fuel prices are higher than we are used to but on par with other metropolitan airports. They waived our tie down fees, which was unexpected. The metro train station is only 1/4 mile away from the airport and it only takes 45 minutes to get to downtown and the fare is $5. This is the best route to get to downtown without paying an arm and a leg for a taxi or parking. We were able to get flight following from Chicago approach both in and outbound. Be advised there are published noise abatement procedures in place.

In and out of 06C over the weekend. Nice to see a patch around the manhole cover at the taxi / runway transition of 29 (was a hole). Witnessed lineman yelling at a loose dog and talking on cell phone while driving, towing aircraft. (Yikes!) Got a seat by the window at the restaurant so that I could keep an eye on my aircraft while I had my $100 hamburger. Pilot Pete's is still a good stop.
 
From George Callas on 10-May-2007
I fly into 06C about 3 or 4 times a month. They have a great facility, terrific service; always ready to help. Never a problem with their line people. I would recommend this FBO anytime you are flying to Chicago area!
 
From Steve McAffrey on 08-May-2007
I frequent Schaumburg airport and it is conveniently tucked away in the Chicago suburbs. It behooves any pilot to pay close attention to the linemen at Northwest flyers, as the turnover rate is quite high. I have experienced on more than one occasion wingdings and scratches on my aircraft due to mishandled fuel nozzles. Aside from that I've had no other issues.
 
From Bruce Cameron on 29-Jul-2006
Have utilized 06C/Northwest Flyers 3 times on the past 18 months for access to Chicago area. Great FBO and good service. (However, we really miss Meigs...) Taxi downtown a bit more expensive than ORD but if you're traveling light, access to the Schaumburg METRA train station is close by & about 1 hr to Union Station/Loop - and all the time regardless of auto traffic/rush hour.
 
From Jeff Svihel on 01-Apr-2006
NWF has great facilities and a fantastic staff that really understands customer service! I would recommend this FBO anytime you are flying to Chicago area! They are much cheaper and GA friendly than the big airports around Chicago! They also have a great restaurant on field as well! Definitely worth stopping!
 
From Sean Franklin on 28-Feb-2006
Neat little airport, tucked under the 1,900 MSL shelf of O'Hare's Bravo so you need to come in low. As long as visibility is good it's no problem picking out the runway, but I wouldn't want to do it without a GPS with the Bravo airspace so close. Great restaurant upstairs, real nice facility.
 
From Brandon Wren on 13-Jan-2006
TOP NOTCH!! I flew in yesterday for a meeting and was asked over Unicom if I was staying to eat or anything. I wasn't, but the rental car was readily available and I filled out a card for my fuel (which was properly fueled, thank you). Upon returning, I was checked back out in a matter of minutes and was on my way. The building was beautiful and looked to have a nice little restaurant on the top floor. The folks are nice and the airport is convenient. Highly recommended...I'll be back.
 
From Chris Murray on 28-Nov-2005
Schaumburg was my second airport of landing during my commercial cross country flight. Landed around 1pm local time after a nice flight from Iowa in August. Talked to Rockford approach on the way in followed by Chicago approach. Told line I needed fuel to the bottom of collar but when I came back to the plane 2 hours later, fuel was filled all the way up on both sides and coming out of the vent. Went in to complain and they said there was nothing they could do. They got an extra 5 gallons in there which I had to pay for even though I didn't need it!
 
From Ed Zeigler on 07-Jul-2005
A+ grade FBO. These folks went out of their way to help us get transportation to, and a hotel on the 'Miracle Mile' in Chicago. This was a last minute trip on the Fourth of July holiday so the help was needed. A very good experience.
 
From Justin Hammons on 22-Jun-2005
Awesome service, Definitely the way an FBO should be. Just call and they will get whatever you need ready by the time you get there. Fuel prices are very competitive with others in the region even though it may seem like a lot to us barnstormers.
 
From Ed Nunn on 09-Jun-2005
I flew into 06C and stayed for 2 nights because I had business in Chicago. Betty and staff was great. Because we had luggage, decided to catch a taxis instead of train. Big mistake, it took 2 1/2 hours to get downtown and cost $140.00. Next time I will rent a car.
 
From Jack Daniels on 13-May-2005
Traveling for business 20 days out of the month, can be very tiring and oftimes stressful. Flying into 06C is always like coming back to friends. Betty always has a smile and my car ready for me. She is an absolute delight!
