Second time using Gaston's as an overnight stop on a coast to coast flight, looking forward to the next opportunity to do it again. Turf strip is in great shape, rooms are literally across the street from aircraft tie-downs and you can get dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. Too easy and the place is a delight to boot! One of these days I'll try the fishing too.

Had a great weekend fishing for trout, even though my co-pilot out fished me. Field is in good shape. One quick note for those buying fuel, pull strait into the pumps due to the short hose they use. Looking forward to returning with new co-pilot who can't out fish me.

Flew in with my son for a fishing trip. Strip in good shape. Friendly people and a well run operation.

Flew into Gaston’s for lunch on my way to OSH - Great stop! This is a wonderful location with a very nice grass strip. I didn't stay in the cabins nor did I fish, but I'll be back!

Great place. The restaurant was closed, but the pizza was good. They don't sell beer in Arkansas on Sunday but they lent me a van so I could run to MO. Turf was great. People friendly and helpful and location outstanding. Next time I'll stay long enough to try the fishing.

Landed in Gaston's based on a recommendation. It's a nice turf strip, but when coming in from the southeast make sure to remember that when landing on runway 24 the river will be on your LEFT! There's some other long grassy area on the adjacent side of the river that also looks like a runway until you get real close. (Don't ask how I know this!) The turf strip was fine for my Warrior, and the restaurant was great with friendly service. Gas is pretty pricey so I didn't buy any, and there was nobody manning the FBO.

I love Gaston's the place is great; especially for those who like the combo of flying and fishing. I just made my fifth trip. Three of the five trips, I landed on Gaston's grass strip. The other two times I landed at the Mountain Home airport (Baxter Regional). Gaston's will pick you up at Mountain Home airport - at least if you are staying there. I think that it is about 15-20 minutes away. The grass strip at Gaston's is nice and long and wide and is usually in pretty good condition. It drains well except for parts of tie down area (they do have tie down stakes and ropes in place). My departure today was one of my bumpier ones. I walked down it the day before I had noticed many mole tunnels and mound. The fishing is excellent. The restaurant is pretty good. It is expensive, but if you are actually flying in, there should not be much of a complaint. Everything else is very cheap and reasonable. Most of the cabins have good TV’s, fireplaces, charcoal grills, and fridges.
