Flew in for the cheap gas. Great little airport, wish we had a Small GA oriented airport in northern Virginia. It was unattended but the small office was open. They have an ASOS computer in the facility but I did not see a frequency on any publication, the winds can be strong and variable here. Restroom was clean and had industrial soap, which I needed due to what looked like dielectric grease all over the fuel grounding clip.

Great fuel stop on our way from Baltimore to Bangor. Saved $60 in fuel by stopping at 0B1. Nice compact terminal office with all the required facilities. My complements to the airport management for their contributions to keeping GA affordable!!

The FBO is compact and gives you what you need. Was delayed here on our cross country flight in a very slow plane and was happy to find coffee, a warm building and Internet. Thanks! The only thing missing was a car to look at the area and drive to the local restaurants.

What a fabulous GA facility that allows day trips (or longer) to the Bethel ski region! Many thanks to the town for its forethought in putting together this package for us, which has brought me back 2x this year for skiing when I otherwise would not have traveled there. My only wish was that the tiedown anchors weren't iced over, or that there were ropes already in place, because it's just impossible to tiedown otherwise. Response from Tony Milligan, Airport Coordinator / Asst. Manager, Town of Bethel (FBO)
Thank you Scott for your very kind feedback! We strive to do the very best we can without having to keep an attendant on field. As such, during the winter months our tie-down anchors do often fill with snow or ice. If we were to leave the ropes on the apron, they would simply be cut off by the snow removal crews and destroyed. Therefore, our best solution was to provide shovels and an ice pick to help clear the tie-down anchors. Although most times, pilots are able to tie-down without the need to chop any ice, it is sometimes necessary (welcome to Maine winters!!) Having said that, we are pleased you chose Bethel Regional Airport and look forward to your next visit!

VERY nice unattended airport. Cute pilot's lounge that's unlocked and has everything you need - bathroom, snacks for cheap purchase, computers, heat :-) Great price on Avgas. Thanks.

I have used 0B1 many times each year to fly in to ski at Sunday River. This is a very well maintained airport. The 110V outlets are very handy for me to come back to a quick starting warm engine. Call Stage Coach taxi with your eta and they will be planeside when you land to whisk you to SR. $20 each way. I used to take the Explorer bus but they dropped the airport stop a few years ago.

What a great little airport! Cheap fuel, plenty of quality tie down spots, and even ropes if you need them. I wish more small airports were this nice. I will be back!

0B1 is a FANTASTIC little airport; it is well maintained, has a few dedicated spots for folks who need to plug in their tannin heaters, a heated pilot lounge, and 4000 ft of runway. It doesn't get better than that. We used Stagecoach to drive us to Sunday River, I'd recommend calling them ahead of time to schedule a pickup. We'll be back soon and often.

It was so nice the first time, I came back. Tony has set up a great facility and still charges $3.50 for 100LL. Going to have to drive here when the leaves change in a few weeks. Response from Tony Milligan, Airport Coordinator / Asst. Manager, Town of Bethel (FBO)
Thanks again Cal for your comments and for your return visit. We're planning on having an Open House and Foliage Scenic Flights event for the public on October 17 from 10am until 4pm (weather permitting). We hope you can stop by for a flight and a cheeseburger!

One of the best maintained and equipped unattended airports we have visited. The airport building has pay as you go snacks and drinks, tie down ropes, a restroom, local information, and a computer for all your weather needs. A delightful 35 minute walk takes you across the Androscoggin River with canoe and kayak rentals and brings you to the many shops and restaurants in Bethel. Great fuel prices as well. Response from Tony Milligan, Airport Coordinator / Asst. Manager, Town of Bethel (FBO)
Thank you Dana for your feedback. We have great pride in our airport and are committed to providing the best "self-service" experience we can offer to our customers. We're also glad you took the opportunity to explore Bethel and see what we have to offer. We looking forward to your next visit.

DigiWx Weather Advisory is available by clicking the aircraft radio microphone 3 times on the CTAF 122.9 or by calling (207) 824-0475. Response from Tony Milligan, Airport Coordinator / Asst. Manager, Town of Bethel (FBO)
Mischa is correct. In addition to receiving VFR weather advisories from DigiWx on the CTAF, you'll also hear local NOTAM advisories if any are active for the airport. If there are any other special announcements, you can receive that information by calling the Airport Information Line at (207) 824-3100 or by subscribing for free to our e-Notices email messaging service by simply sending an email to airport@bethelmaine.org and putting the word SUBSCRIBE in the subject line.

Very nice airport for a fuel stop, still $3.50 on 7/20/09. Well worth the trip. Response from Tony Milligan, Airport Coordinator / Asst. Manager, Town of Bethel (FBO)
Thank you very much for your comments and for visiting us at Bethel Regional. Although we are a self-serve FBO, we try the very best to offer whatever we can to make your visit a memorable and positive experience. We are particularly proud to offer aggressively priced 100LL fuel (currently at $3.50/gallon) as well as free Internet and local calls, a snack bar, restroom, and no fees for landing or parking! We look forward to serving you again real soon!

Have been flying up to ski Sunday River for a few years and its one of the best setups for fly-in skiing anywhere in the world! We were disappointed to find out that this year the Mountain Explorer (town Ski bus) is no longer making stops at the airport, "for schedule reasons" and none of the cab services were available, so we hiked over to the Nordic lodge stop. We'd love to see the airport stop added back on the route! Thanks for keeping a great airport! Response from Deb Cayer, Mountain Valley Taxi Service
By phoning in advance the new service is set up to be waiting for you when you fly in. It runs 7 days a week year round. It should be a great way to see Bethel once you arrive.
