Newberry County Airport Commission

at Newberry County Airport

From Robert Cochell on 29-Mar-2008

The fuel is still $3.95/gal, which is unbelievable as it is just under $7/gal in Florida panhandle. The runway construction has come to a halt; hope they finish before they run out of money.

New runway is graded but not paved. Fuel system in new and worked well. Unattended pilots' lounge was accessible by code and was simple and comfortable.

Newberry has a new ASOS so you can use the lower local altimeter settings on the GPS approach. Fuel is still $3.80 but bring a tie-down if you plan to stay, only one available on the pavement, if it is occupied one must be prepared for "in the grass."

Landed here 12/7/07, fuel still $3.80. On my way to FLA from Ohio. I was forced down due to unexpected low ceilings in the area. Didn't catch their names, but wanted to thank the "father/son" duo who were annualing a Cessna, for offering a ride to a hotel. There is NOBODY around at this airport except these two, other than the contractors working on the new runway. The weather eventually got better and I was off, but I appreciated their concern at this desolate airport. (The son did a beautiful restoration on an old Cessna).

Newberry is under renovation, new runway - the old runway to become the taxiway, check notams for airport closure, I was fortunate to have the FSS briefer read ALL the notams on a final weather check to discover the airport was closed for the morning I intended to fly to 27J. This is long overdue upgrade at Newberry with longer runway and no TALL trees at end.

Stopped in for a midnight snack for my return trip. Plane really hungry for a C-150. Price as advertised refuel area well lit. Did have one problem with the pump, which was solved by re-setting the circuit breakers located on side of hangar near pumps. Runway condition better than described in the AF/D. We'll be back!
