On the way to Tampa we had to divert to LaBelle due to weather. The facility was not manned but open and very comfortable. We had to be in Tampa ASAP for extremely important business and needed a car. A local pilot suggested we call Ronald Lee at LaBelle Dodge for a car. Ron dropped everything, picked us up, expedited our rental and got us off in just a few minutes (and @ a super rate). When we returned to LaBelle, we were pleasantly suppressed to find the self-serve avgas was a great price. We are going to now use LaBelle for all our business trips to the Fort Meyers area in the future. PS: we made Tampa on time.

Stopped in last week on the way to the Bahamas. Nice airport with adequate facilities. Courtesy car was out so we walked across the street (5 minute walk) to a Mexican Restaurant that turned out to be good. Self-Serve fuel worked fine.

Friendly, clean, peaceful airport. I flew in from Palm Beach to fuel. While fueling, as the fuel went into one of the tanks on the 414, it poured out the bottom of the wing. This was something new and not normal. After basic troubleshooting, I talked to the friendly morning manager and his friends and he called the local mechanic, Vernon Conly. Vernon drove back a half hour from an airport down south where he was doing an annual. He pulled the airplane to his hangar there at Labelle and after a series of pulled inspection plates determined a bum bladder had sprung a leak. Because I had to move on, he drained the remaining fuel and took that fuel, perhaps 15 gallons, in lieu of all fees! Vernon is professional, fast and thrifty! If I was based anywhere in the south Florida area, I'd use Vernon for my aircraft needs. I made it home here in the southwest with a couple extra fuel stops. I still have a warm feeling in my heart for the Labelle airport.

Flew to La Belle yesterday for fuel and lunch. SS worked well and went to Michelle's for lunch using the courtesy car. Nice quiet, clean airport that I will use again with the best fuel price in southwest Florida.

Beautiful, friendly and well groomed country airport. Clean restrooms and self-serve fuel is $1.30 less than fuel at Airglades only 20 miles away. We always look forward to landing at La Belle.

Centrally located, economical in/out refueling location for south Florida transitions. No restaurant on site, but the FBO has a microwave, clean restrooms and comfortable chairs.
