One of the best airports in the south. I stop here several times a year to visit my dad who lives in the local area. Airport staff usually puts my Navion in a hangar at no charge if I stay overnight. Upstairs pilot lounge has an outstanding view of the field. Several great restaurants and hotels within a mile or two of the airport.... My favorite place to eat is Top of the River located directly on the Coosa River. Take the airport car, it is usually available at no charge.

This is probably the best FBO experience I have had to date. Flew in to see a friend for dinner just ahead of a huge thunderstorm. Randall was able to put me in an unused hangar for a few hours while the storm passed. Gave me access to one of the better crew cars I have seen in awhile and let me return it after closing time. All this for the purchase of 16 gallons of reasonably priced AVGAS (5.80). Will go back at first opportunity!

Stopped for an overnight on a ferry flight from NC to TX (J-3). Line staff stayed late to give us a hangar. Fuel was priced right, crew car was excellent, and airport was very nice. Multiple runways in great shape and will stop here next time I am in the area.

I was ferrying my new experimental airplane from Florida to Indiana and stopped here to have lunch and attend to some maintenance issues before continuing. The FBO personnel were very friendly and accommodating. Line personnel were prompt and courteous when fueling the plane and providing a hangar for it. Courtesy car was readily available and was NOT the barely running junk-bucket normally used. Naturally I added more gas than I used. Mechanics were professional and a lot of fun to work with! I would go out of my way to visit these people again. I encourage you to do the same.

Landed due to wx. Staff was most helpful. Was given the use of a nice crew car for dinner. Plenty of nice hotels and a few decent eating options within a 3 mile drive of the airport. Should have overnighted here but tried to make it home, only to get stuck in another airport much farther from civilization!

Had to land due to bad weather. They let me use crew car to get a hotel room. Very hospitable. I will definitely stop again.

Recently visited KGAD for a state playoff game. Met by a host of nice and helpful airport staff. I pre-arranged a rental car and one was not available by my arrival and the staff was able to arrange a courtesy car on very short notice. Excellent facility and extremely helpful professionals. I will definitely return.

Great stop for a X/C. Loved the upstairs pilot lounge. Will return.
