From Doug Garrou on 04-Aug-2008
Staff here was very accommodating when we stopped to avoid weather. This is a good "bail out" location for weather -- when you fly a Cherokee, a long runway (7000 feet) without hills on either end is much appreciated in WV in the summertime!! FBO is attended 7 a.M. To 11 p.M. Local hotels (Hilton, Holiday Inn) will send a shuttle to the FBO to pick you up. Stayed at the Hilton and it was fine. Local tower/ATC was very helpful.

May 27, 2008 Interesting place. Seems to be a feud going on behind the scenes. The desk clerk at the FBO sent us to a place in town for lunch and it was awful. The cafe right on the field, as I came to find out, was super. It seemed like she was under orders to steer people from the cafe in the terminal. Too bad. Refueling went well, but there was no power cart for engine starts. An airport this size should have several GPUs. There is no crew car and we were shuttled over to lunch in a pickup truck by someone connected to the awful restaurant. The pilots lounge and flight planning were out of the early 70's and this airport FBO is badly in need of updating.

Went for a long XC from Lansing MI, stopped here for fuel. I stayed long enough to eat, which was a very nice pub. Very reasonable food and staff. I will visit here again.

FBO now under different management and operating out of temporary facilities in the building housing fire trucks beside the commercial terminal to the North. Rental cars available in the commercial terminal.

Response from Chuck Koukoulis, President KCI Aviation
I would like to clarify something. The FBO is not under new management. The airport authority rejected our high bid for the fueling operation and kept the fuel and FBO services for the airport to operate. The sign should reflect the new name of the line service operation not imply that our business is under new management. As a result of this action West Virginia's last and only full service FBO no longer exists. Our family has provided the FBO services here since 1951. We will concentrate on aircraft maintenance and avionics work. Our core business is business aircraft maintenance. Check out our website for more details. I would like to thank our patrons. It has been our pleasure to serve you for all these years. Regards,

Everyone in the facility was pleasant and helpful; restaurant in the terminal was OK. Pilot lounge is still one three-cushion couch, T.V now works but all channels are "For ordering this channel contact...." Unless you want to watch home shopping network you are out of luck. During the course of the day at least 3 other crews were wandering the halls looking for a place to sit.

Friendly people to work with, place really needs a crew car as the "lounge" is very small and has only one sofa to set on in a small room.
