Visited twice this Summer. Great experience both times. Follow proper procedures and exhibit common courtesy and you'll be welcomed. Don't and you'll be called out.

Land of the $100 ice cream cone. You can't beat KAFN. On site ASOS, courteous FBO staff with low fuel price, and a long paved runway. Best yet is that Kimball's Ice Cream, of Boston fame, is a quick 3-minute walk from transient airplane parking. This airport is on my list of ten best experiences.

Flew in to KAFN on May 8 2011 with an Archer. Harvey and his wife were absolutely spectacular: professional and very welcoming. They run the airport, it's the closest thing to a "mom and pop store" as an airfield. Chatted with them a bit, turns out state funding dried up due to the bad economy, they run the place + keep it in working order out of a love for GA. Fuel was priced very well. CC machine didn't work so bring cash or check. It's worth a fly-in just to top off + get an ice cream treat at Kimball's (crazy flavor combos), just a few minutes walk. Note: the field is not bad as some of the NOTAMs indicate. They've been patching the asphalt and it wasn't rough on the gear at all. Taxiway under construction on the 34 end of the field, plan to back-taxi if you land on 16. They keep an ASOS running, call in with your tail # on Unicom and Harvey will answer with an active runway. Control your speed: short field approach + departure and you'll have a great experience.

The airport staff is very friendly and always helpful. The runway is a bit rough but manage your airspeed and you'll have no problems. Kimball's ice cream is a 2-minute walk from the airport and has the best lobster rolls around! The ice cream is incredible as well.

A pleasure to visit; I've always found the management to be courteous and professional, and the fuel prices are some of the better in the area. And, of course, there's Kimball's! It looks like there's a parallel taxiway in the works, too.

It is a privilege to land here-- we love to come for the excellent seafood and ice cream at Kimball’s. I have personally never had a problem with the airport or management, a little courtesy and respect seems to go a long way. I have learned that this airport is entirely supported by the airport manager; as such we are all in your debt. Great job keeping this jewel running, hats off to your lifelong devotion to aviation-- most of us appreciate it!

Nice little airfield to say the least. Landed runway 16 and I assume I did encounter Harvey who did offer good advice. Did a full stop, back tracked, and departed runway 16 again. The incline down is a bit of a thrill as well as it being a hot day so it made for an interesting take-off :).

As of May 14 2010, credit card service is not available, FBO attendant said they are going to get a new credit card provider but until then will be cash/check only.

I had an encounter with the Runway 34 troll last Saturday. When I announced my intention to depart on 16 someone, perhaps the infamous Harvey, snapped that "Jaffrey is using 34!" I had to back-taxi for several minutes, tying up the runway and running the risk of being landed on. This on a day with no wind, nobody in the pattern, and a high density altitude favoring a downhill takeoff run. It seems that the manager should (1) publish the favored use of 34 in the A/FD, and (2) finish the parallel taxiway so that it is useable.

Things have changed here. Harvey and wife were friendly and accommodating. They do ask/insist that you use your tail number on the Unicom. Upon departure Harvey thanked us for visiting and asked that we come again.

Our flight of three flew in today to take advantage of the cool New Hampshire weather. The FBO called us to recommend parking spots on the ramp. We wandered over to the nearby farm restaurant for lunch and ice cream, and had a good time overall. Nice, quiet, country atmosphere!
