This is a marvelous place to visit even during the Reno Air Races. There are two excellent runways (Cross) but watch for gliders and listen for position calls. Self-service gas with a credit card is very user-friendly and rental cars are available adjacent to parking ramp. You can walk to the Hotel that is visible from the parking ramp but be careful of where you step (step on) in the field. If you carrying bags, I recommend the shuttle bus (50 cents) that runs once per hour between the airport and hotels. Very Enjoyable Stay!

Great airport: Enterprise delivered my rental car to the field and left the keys and contract at the airport office. You can drive out on the tarmac to load/unload your baggage. Good fuel prices to boot!

Airport is now charging landing fees for aircraft over 5,000 pounds MGTW, starting at $50 and ranging up to $200 for a Gulfstream.

Great staff hampered of late by a board that recently mandated a $30 fee for truck delivery of 100LL. This is in lieu of a per-gallon uplift, so the AirNav posted price for self-service and full-service appear identical. But beware the fee!

On Dec 21st, after a great day of skiing at Northstar, when we returned to the airplane, we found that it was covered in frost. The conditions were such that it would accumulate while I was trying to clear it. The airport folks allowed me to borrow a hangar so that I could remove the frost and have a safe departure. They brought us some tools to help us. All at no charge. Very fine experience.

We arrived at this airport shortly before 7PM to drop off passengers. The folks on the field were nice. But they were quick to charge us fees for use of the facility, yet they refused to sell us fuel. That may have been a good thing, as their fuel price was outrageous. A quick check on AirNav found fuel nearby in Carson City for more than $2.00 less per gallon at both FBO's compared with this airport.

Arrived 10-13, and was very pleased with the people who greeted us -- they are very nice. Unfortunately, that is all that can be said positively about this airport. The Jet-A price is ridiculous; the ramp fees are for what??? There are no services -- no lav service, no de-ice, no GPU, rental cars can't be brought onto the ramp -- and fuel is priced at $2.50 to $3.00 above into tank wholesale -- for what are we paying ramp fees??? To the "airport board members" who, we were told, run this airport, we will not return -- we will take our money elsewhere. We are happy to spend money when there is value attached to it -- there is NO value here.

The airport staff is friendly and super helpful. The self-serve has been standardized and is easy to use. Effective October 1, 2007, tie down fees have been increased and there's now a $30 additional fee to call out the 100LL truck during its limited operating hours (self serve price is not affected).

Looks like TRK is following the other airports. Ramp fees for a Falcon raised from $40.00 to $200.00 on October 1, 2007.

Parked the plane here during Reno Air Races 2007. Parking fee was *very* reasonable ($5/night vs $30/night quoted at RNO) and rental car was cheaper as well. Folks in Operations were helpful and friendly. ***Note that self serve fuel is NOT available outside hours -- important for early morning departures!

Flew in on November 5, 2006. Airport staff was helpful and friendly. Avgas was $3.60 for self-serve. The local Hertz rental office was open on Sunday (!) and we got a car for $31 with the AOPA discount. Downtown Truckee is just 2 miles away, with plenty of restaurants. Incline Village (Lake Tahoe) is a short 15-minute drive away, with nice views of the lake and beaches.

Reasonably priced fuel and great service. The Unicom is monitored and friendly and the staff is eager to answer any and all questions. Definitely recommended as an afternoon flight or a vacation getaway. Please follow the noise abatement procedures. Losing this airport would be a shame.

Fun place to stop in a helicopter. We met the local medevac crew, which is based here. Truck fuel is a slight extra charge over the self-serve pump, but worth it if you don't want to put the wheels on and push the helicopter around. We were able to get mineral oil for our new engine.

Truckee is our home base. The staff at the airport are great, with wonderful friendly and fast fuel guys! Please note the limited times for services as the new anti-airport groups are trying to limit the hours the airport is in service. The food at the little cafe in the airport is great.
