at Palm Beach County Park Airport

From Erin Seidemann on 06-Dec-2009

I stopped here on my way to the Bahamas, and I found the owner Jeff and an older couple (his parents?) to be very nice. The older gentleman loaned me their car overnight. The FBO is cluttered, but it's neat nostalgic stuff. The airport and airspace around is super busy, and one guy was coming in not talking to the traffic and came closer than I would have liked. So just be careful when coming in here.

This place is a joke, smug service with an attitude. In addition, I asked three pilots including one instructor what the freq was for contacting PB clearance. I got three different freqs, but the best was only to call them in the air, as they do not want small Cessna to tie up the freq on the ground. Never heard such a wacky thing called in the air and got an ear full from the Controller. Our Baron (small Cessna) will not be back.

Stopped on 5/6, and found the services adequate. Plenty of tie-downs available. I can see how crowded it can become during the winter season. Parking at $8/night is much lower than the nearby airports.

Back again after 2 year absence. Tied down now $8 per night. No free night with fuel purchase. Tie down ropes need replacement so I used my own. Very convenient location for me so I'll be back but will buy fuel somewhere else if able. Was $4.99 / gal + 3% (which I will get back).

Just an update to my previous message: I called to have my credit card company remove the "3% Convenience fee, non Phillips Card". MasterCard said that the major credit card companies do not allow charges like that and I encourage you all to do the same. I had no problem getting that 3% back. Sounds shady to me.

Again, be on your toes coming into this airport. It is extremely busy, with lots of helo training in and around the vicinity of the airport. And it is just plain busy, both in the air and on the ground. The FBO was just CLUTTERED!! I can understand nostalgia, but come on, guys. I have never seen a more eclectic collection of useless crap in my life. The appearance of the FBO was a major turn-off. I was only there to ferry a plane out, but I will hopefully never have to return. Both the airport itself and the FBO were a nightmare. Look elsewhere.
