Landmark Aviation

at Sheppard Air Force Base/Wichita Falls Municipal Airport

From Tracy Forrest on 17-Nov-2008

Landmark is an ok FBO, The staff is well intended and tries to please. Inbound to KSPS on an IFR Flight Plan in a Citation Jet I got all frazzled on the visual approach into KSPS Sheppard Air Force Base/ Wichita Falls today... This is where they train military controllers.. These controllers had me so screwed up, I had no clue what I was doing and neither did they, plus I and to go around once, overall with the go around and vectoring it took me over 30 minutes to land.. The FBO said this is typical and most people don't come back for a second visit..

We hangared our airplane at Landmark for several months. The service was always excellent. The facilities are simple but nice and line service polite and prompt. The manager (Erika) runs a tight ship.

Excellent service and facilities at Landmark helped our attitude after a wrong-way diversion and overnight stop due to weather. Pete was very helpful getting us a motel and ride to and from it. Fuel is not cheap, but service and attitude are excellent. Ft. Worth Center controllers were extremely helpful and engaged in helping us and others work around a nasty weather situation. It's worth the stop to see all the fighter jet training activity!

Stopped overnight for visit to Wichita Falls. Staff was outside ready to wave me to parking. Nice lounge, WX, charts. Aircraft ready next morning as requested with tanks topped off. Only negative was they didn't offer to wave a hangar charge of $25 even though I purchased over $200 in fuel.

Landmark has a new manager who is making some very positive changes... Like cleaning up the facility (slowly but surely) and making sure aircrew's are taken care of. Fuel is on the high side but the service is outstanding! Just ask and if it's in their power to provide they will. As for Sheppard approach if you are coming in from the South or West head for Kickapoo Airport and descend to 2300' and ask them for either direct to downwind for 17 or direct to final on 35... If they can they will clear you.

Flew into Sheppard AFB today in a Piper Seneca 4. Was greeted by the FBO manager on the flight line. The staff was very friendly and the "klunker" no longer exists there. They now have a nice Nissan Xtera. Will use their facility on future trips.

Came in on a Sunday afternoon, and never saw another plane. Used the courtesy car to go eat. Car isn't the best. Car shook and then died a couple times at the light, giving me a helpless feeling of being stranded.... Was Charged $20 dollars for the car, because we were gone 30 minutes over the 2 hours..... FBO is very tired and needs a makeover.
