at Bob Sikes Airport

From Michael Cullinane on 28-Sep-2008

Met with Bob, nice guy to talk to very knowledgeable and helpful, my brother lives across the street from the front gate, clean facility and kudos to the shop for the helpful answers. See you all the next visit.

Our third year in a row for fuel stop on the way to Sun n Fun. Great service and decent fuel prices.

Flew in for an angel flight relay. I tankered in a lot of fuel on my own so I didn't buy any but price was still above or very close to $4. I usually write down the price to update AirNav but didn't this time. Still I am pretty sure it was lower than the $4.45 that is in AirNav. Facilities were fine and the staff seemed to respond nice enough for me. Although, I'm a pretty low maintenance type personality. I would use this place again for a relay flight.

Sunshine Aero staff was great. The rental cars were waiting for us and hotel reservations were made with no problems. As mentioned in other comments the facilities leave a bit to be desired. The airport was very quiet when we were there (mid-week) and it was very easy to get in and out IFR.

I would rate "OK". On the plus side, reasonable fuel prices and good service. Lineman was ready to guide me and tied the plane down right away. On departure day, only one lineman and he was overworked. No waiver of tie down for fuel purchase.

The staff there is very pleasant and nice, but the FBO itself pales in comparison. I've been there 3 times in the past 6 months and each time, the courtesy car is mysteriously "not available today". I don't think they have one. The only options for food are a cab ride or delivery pizza (nothing nearby). Maybe other FBO's have spoiled me with crew cars, fancy recliners, and Internet access and snooze rooms. CEW is fine for a quick turn (very friendly, efficient and timely fuel service), but if you're going to be spending any time waiting on passengers, be prepared for a vending machine sponsored lunch and uncomfortable chairs. They do have a good weather computer.
