Stopped by for a weekend fly-in with the Colorado Pilots Association and we were greeted with great hospitality, readily available courtesy cars, and a cold bottle of water on the ramp. The airport manager Carl makes this a great destination. The airport is only minutes from rafting, skiing, and hiking. Plus, the fuel is very reasonable.

This FBO operation is GREAT. Carl had about 40 Cessna descend on the airport for a two-day seminar and right in the middle of it, about 15 RV's showed up. I wish this were my home base ... But it isn't.

This is about the best Colorado mountain airport. You have great views, low cost gas prices, a terminal with a cozy relax feel to it. And one of the best airport managers in the country. If he isn't to busy he will meet you at your aircraft with a bottle of water, even if you are in a little bitty aircraft. The airport has several free crew cars to venture into town for sightseeing or just a quick lunch. Give yourself a treat; make this one of your stops if you’re in the area.

Carl is a great guy...He will help you out any way he can...And he has a staff from the lock-up who are great for helping us glider types assemble our ships. However as mentioned, pay attention to winds, rising terrain and density altitude. Also the runway has a 2-degree downhill pitch to the east. And in the summer there is a lot of towplane and glider activity, so announcing your intentions well in advance is always appreciated.

Great general aviation airport. We had a stuck exhaust valve in the right engine on our Twin Comanche and spent an extra day there. I am an A&P but didn't have the correct tools with me, nor did anybody else on the field. Bought a mechanic buddy a ticket to Colorado Springs and picked him up with the rental car. We fixed it in about an hour and then flew back to TX the next morning. Carl and staff did everything they could to help out. Craig Anderson (Anderson Motors) in town is super nice guy to rent a car from. Also local Holiday Inn Express is a good place to stay.

One of my favorite airports. The scenery is great, the terminal building looks out over a xeriscape that the staff has worked hard on, plus you are surrounded by the Colorado Rockies. The Salide runway is over 7300 feet long, a generous length even taking into account heat and elevation. And did I mention fair prices on the 100LL? Kudos’ to Carl and the rest of the management, truly an asset to Salida and central Colorado.

Nice location, plenty of tie-downs, and low prices on avgas. Nice terminal building with lounge & snacks. Rental car available in town (they will deliver it).
