Redtail Aviation

at Canyonlands Field Airport

From Kirk Lindberg on 21-Sep-2009

First rate service! They were there ready to direct us to a parking spot, chocked the plane, brought our rental car out to the plane on the ramp (Enterprise is the only game in town, make sure you have a reservation), helped load our baggage into the car, and had the plane refueled to our specs when we returned. AArchway Inn was a nice place to stay with competitive rates, and is just a couple miles from Arches National Park.

Arrived after hours. Terminal was closed. Found a hotel, The AArchway Inn (2 A's), that provided shuttle service to it and to downtown. Stayed there 3 nights because of the convenience of it. Apparently no other hotels do this. Check them out if in Moab.

Made a detour into CNY to explore the parks at the last minute. Enterprise car rental was sold out (their busiest season), but Iris and Nick at the counter helped us make arrangements to get transportation into town and then a rental car from another source. All the positive comments written here summarize how accommodating the staff at Redtail Aviation is in taking care of their customers. One of the best FBO's around.

Pulled in for gas and a rental car. They serviced the plane while I was gone and all went well. I got a rental car from Enterprise. I told the person I would be there by three. She left at 2:45 for her other job. Got the car and the gas tank was EMPTY. I was surprised it made it to the gas station 10 miles away.

I rented one of Redtail's 172s for an early morning flight while in Moab for some hiking earlier this month. Both Iris (manager) and Shane (CFI) made sure the process was easy and uncomplicated. Shane let me borrow his sectional. First rate service and operation.

I flew in several days ago and found the office manager, Iris, to be very helpful and went out of her way to set me up with their courtesy car :) I definitely will be making return trips to Moab.

I flew down there yesterday, tied down the plane, asked for fuel to bring up my wing gauges to 35 gal. each and left to go hiking in Arches. When I came back to the airport to pay for the fuel I was told they had overshot my wing gauges by a bit and would not be charging me for the extra fuel they had put in the aircraft. Red Hawk has a monopoly. You and I have no where else to go. Yet they treat you (every time I've been to Moab, which is several) like they are trying to establish a new business in the face of tough competition. If they were closer to my home base I would fly there to refuel just to give them the business. It doesn't get any better than dealing with people like these. Owners of large FBO's at certain airports (e.g. Signature at Santa Barbara) should be chained to the counter at Red Hawk and made to watch.

I have flown into CNY several times over the past few years and Redtail has always been courteous and provide excellent, timely service.

Watch out for the construction trucks racing around like the airport is their private demolition derby. What part of give way don't y'all understand? Anyway, the FBO staff was all very pleasant. You'll be inclined on a slope when you pull up tot he pumps. I took off towards the highway to avoid terrain on this hot afternoon...Against the traffic. I just knew the tour aircraft were out there somewhere. Nice FBO, great staff, spectacular country, too many oblivious self-absorbed European tourists.

Heading home to KSFB arrived at KCNY around 1830 Friday for fuel. AirNav research suggested a detour to Grand Junction but we're glad we didn't. The bathrooms were spotless. A lady (Susan) mentioned their self-serve would save us 20¢ a gallon - 15 bucks on a 75-gallon fill. Inquired about food and a fellow (Lavar) told us town was about 20 miles away (CNY serves Moab, UT, which is a serious tourist destination for hikers, mountain bikers, etc.). They offered a crew car, which we gratefully took (we topped it off and ran it through the car wash before returning it, of course) and set off to visit a place called the Moab Diner (where the locals eat). The food was great and Lynn wisely ordered a Coke freeze, which I snagged a bite, or two of. We returned to Canyonlands Field a little after 9PM and were surprised to learn Lavar and Susan lived there during the week. Frankly, it's our intentions to make this a regular stopping point. KCNY and Moab Diner are highly recommended.
 

From John Beech on 02-Jun-2007

Great people! Friendly, and they bent over backwards to help us. We showed up around 6:30 in the afternoon, a little late for most small town FBOs, as experienced pilots know. Frankly, we were grateful to find such nice folks still around and willing to help as business is scarce usually that late in the day and it's a losing proposition to have people hanging around. Anyway, said they could either fill us up with their 100LL truck, but then volunteered that there was a 20 cents a gallon savings if we wanted to use the self serve, which we did. Then they offered us the use of a crew car for the drive into Moab, which we took them up on - get a meal at the Moab Diner and it will exceed your expectations! By the way, expect to pay about the same as everywhere else for gas - too darned much - thanks to the greedy . . . But I digress. Anyway, great folks, and we'll stop again!

Stopped by Canyon Lads Field at 6:30pm and Saturday Feb. 17th and there was no one to be found. The Fuel Self pay fuel pumps aren't just the smallest unevenly paved area they work only half of the time, the pump went on and off 20 times during a refuel. There are no working phones on the field also no access to anything. My recommendation is to fly to Grand Junction, CO and take a road trip in to Moab, it's not worth the anguish of putting up with people from Grand County Utah. Side note the Sheriff that showed up was the worst person my co-pilot and I have ever met, all he was worried about is if the airplane was stolen and trying to interrogate the pilots. Horrible, Horrible, Horrible -- Please don't give these guys your business... Fly somewhere else. Thanks
