Prompt friendly hospitality for fuel and courtesy car. Airport Attendant Trad explained the fuel purchase options, self or full service. No pressure. Provided copies of local area maps and places to eat. Facility very clean.

Trad Julian was extremely personable, welcoming and accommodating on our recent visit to LQK. He not only greeted us on the ramp as we cooled down, but also took great care of our helicopter while fuelling and as it rained unexpectedly while we were away from the airport for lunch. BTW - a great recommendation from Trad - Yanks - Meat & three in Liberty. Thanks Trad - we'll be back!!!

Flew a Citation here to take a boy to camp. Pickens has a great Facility, super nice people, and everyone did what they said they would do. The local Hertz rental car folks also get an A+ for being really nice and helping us out with a minor issue. Highly recommended!

On Friday, July 13, 2012, we were coming in from New Orleans, trying to get to Ashville. We are VFR, with no prior flying experience in the area. As we got close, the weather got pretty bad and we had to divert to Pickens. What a pleasant surprise!!! We were greeted and helped greatly by Trad Julian, the Airport Attendant, who reassured us we were welcome, let us use the courtesy car and provided us with information and directions to help us accomplish our mission. The facility was incredible and the staff and services outstanding. Next time we are in the area, Pickens is definitely on our stop list! Thank you!

Great stop! Nice, clean full service airport and facilities. Trad and Ted were outstandingly helpful and very courteous. The FBO provides a great place to work out flight planning and hang out (we were waiting for some showers to clear the area.)

Arrived after hours on Memorial Day. Trad could not have been nicer when he came out to fuel us. Very nice facility, and very helpful staff. We'll be back.

Very nice FBO with a new building & furniture. I stopped in for fuel this weekend. Trad went out of his way to help put 8 gallons in my 152.

The other folks have said it all. I can only add my support by saying this IS my normal stop between OH and FL. I've already used them about six times heading north and south. Used the RNAV apch on the last round. They are a good thing.

What a great airport! Ted and Trad do a truly outstanding job, and it's one of the friendliest airports I've ever visited. Doesn't hurt that the fuel is so reasonably priced. Crew car is almost always available. Southern hospitality at its finest!

This was my second visit to Pickens Co. SS works great and terminal is beautiful. I was offered either of two courtesy cars. Great fuel stop before crossing the mountains.

Have used this airport for reasonably priced fuel fairly often. Stopped in yesterday... The self serve was broken (lightening strike), but Trad advised us of that as we taxied in and fueled us from the truck, same $$ as self-serve. Clean, modern, friendly airport, would stop there any chance I got. Kudos!!

We stopped through about 3pm on a Saturday afternoon based on the fuel price recommendation of AirNav.Com. We chose to use the self-serve facility. The pump is in the back corner, which makes the turnaround a little tight, compared to locations where the pump is simply along the long edge of a ramp allowing straight in/out access. Not a huge issue, just worth noting. The FBO facility is clean and modern. The two young men we met who were working behind the counter were friendly and helpful.

Nice airport with a good runway and easy-to-use self-service pump. Runway 23 is downhill a little.

I flew in to Pickens Co. Airport on Friday, Oct.22, 2010. Trad was very helpful in setting me up in a courtesy car to get me to my meeting. He also gave me directions to a great restaurant in Liberty, Yank's. Beautiful terminal with very comfortable recliners in the pilot's lounge. Overall, a great experience. I will be back.

Originally flew into LQK in July, 2008 and continued to stop for fuel. About a year ago, we bought a cabin in the area and stay there part of the year. All in part because of the improvements in the airport and the kindness of the people we have me there! Very nice FBO.

Trad Julian was great. Beautiful FBO, courtesy car used, good restaurant downtown. If you pass this way to get gas this is the place. Good prices, but a great overall experience. Will stop if in the area.

My son and I were flying from Mississippi to Richmond, VA and stopped at LQK. What a nice experience. Beautiful FBO. Trad Julian was great help. We were given a courtesy car and a map to go eat lunch at a good local cafe. I will always stop there on my way somewhere if I need fuel or just to eat.

Pickens Co continues to be a first class operation for Western SC/NC. No parking fees, no landing fees, instrument approaches, and a great facility. Ted and Trad are always accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Of the 8 airports I could use to get to the mountains, I always use Pickens.
