On my way back to Florida from Oshkosh I stopped at Monroe County and experienced one, if not the best, of the best FBO experiences I have had. Brad Bivens came right out to help when I pulled up for fuel. He grounded the plane, rolled out the hose, and helped with the hose as I was up and down the ladder on my Skylane. I would encourage anyone enroute from the upper Midwest to Florida to make this a stop. Since the airport sits in a valley between two ridgelines weather could be a problem. If it is Knoxville and Chattanooga are very close buy.

This is a great little rural airport. Folks are extremely pleasant and the facilities are first rate. Also, the fuel price is one of the lowest in the southeast. I'll definitely be stopping here regularly.

All I can say is I wish every airport had a guy like Brad at it. He is one pilot that understands the needs of GA. Thank you Brad and Monroe County for the amazing service.

Madisonville is one of the best stopovers I've ever been to. LPV approaches, gas prices as advertised, and a friendly face to greet us. They even offered us the crew van if we wanted to grab lunch. I will be back.

Always went to Tyson and their single FBO when visiting family in Knoxville. I had read really bad reports on the previous administration at The Monroe County airport. But the city has now taken it over. And their attitude towards customer service is awesome. I have been flying for 15 years, and this is by far the best customer service I have ever had. You call the main airport number, and you get the mayor's office, and they want your business. And the people running the airport are just as dedicated. Wow, what an awesome place. The airport is normally unattended. I called and the manager came over to help me put my plane in their communal hangar...FOR FREE. They told me they would not charge me because I was getting fuel. I was there 4 days. I told them I would be back Saturday morning and when I showed up, the manager and some of the airport tenants had pulled my plane out. Even they are into making you feel welcome. People make all the difference. I will be back.

We decided to stop by for the cheap fuel. Had a problem with the Jet fuel pump, but the county people now in charge went out of their way to fix it. I think they have a bit yet to go to recover from the prior FBO, but their heart is in the right place and they are certainly trying. I was told they are working on a crew car to provide access to food -- it will be a welcome addition. Even without it, I would definitely stop here again as long as the fuel prices remain attractive.

What a nice change! Larry Hamilton dba Tellico Air Service is no longer the FBO manager. Monroe County owns and runs the airport now, and has made it a nice self serve operation, with the best fuel prices around!! Nice 3600' runway, 24/7 operation. Entrance to lobby is Unicom freq, then *. Hangar space avail too, 80x100, if wx threatens.
