Great gas price as advertised. FBO very convenient even @ night. Though did see deer on taxiway so recommend vigilance.

Arrived after hours but before dark bringing a Cub from MOT to E98. Nice facility with down home feel and attention to customers (even after hours ones!). Easy in and out.

Grassroots aviation at its finest. Good fuel price, manager helped pump and made sure we knew where everything was before he left for the day. Large snack food selection on the honor system. Clean facilities including showers. You won't find this in many places. Great stop.

Landed for fuel Oct 10, 2012. The system worked well with the exception of no receipt. Maybe I didn't do something correctly. Fuel priced as advertised on AirNav. It had been some time since I had previously stopped at Mandan and I like the changed door combination familiar to pilots instead of having to try to remember some random number. The lesser expensive fuel price is greatly appreciated.

Landed my Mooney in the dark on a normal, well lit Rwy. Self-serve gas. Slept on the couch, showered and left early. Perfect!

Great facility with best prices. I arrived at 9:30 pm. Nobody present (I didn't call ahead), but I was able to access bathroom, shower, and a snack for free or a donation. I will make this my cross-country refuel spot.

I have a Mooney based at Mandan-about as stiff as a landing gear gets. While not excellent, the runway is pretty average. Don't know where the comment about concrete patches showing came from. The runway is asphalt, 100%. The taxiway and apron were recently replaced.

Runway condition is listed in AirNav as being in good condition. This is the worst runway I have ever landed on. The cracks/holes in the concrete are wide and they are filled with some kind of tar mixture that does not fill the hole/crack completely. Or, some are overfilled. It is not, as listed covered with asphalt/aggregate mix. There are large patches of concrete visible. The ride on T/O or landing feels like you are on a poorly maintained and structured gravel runway. After takeoff, I landed at KBIS to check on a malfunction. My opinion of the Mandan runway was corroborated by several people. They said that the plan is to re-surface the Mandan runway next year. Land on the grass strip if you have to go there.Response from Jim Lawler, City of Mandan (FBO)
I would like to respond to John Schroeder's comments on the runway condition at Mandan. The claim that the runway is concrete is not correct, it is asphalt with an aggregate surface and yes there are cracks that we have repaired recently, for ride reasons, that when the material is screed are 8" to 16" wide, that turned out very well. Not a user of the runway myself (I do inspect it) I have talked to other users, local and transient and its never been described as poor, most comments are good condition. Also none of any other comments on AirNav even mentioned the condition of the runway, if it is that bad I would hope someone would mention it. Comment " There are large patches of concrete visible", the only concrete in the operations area is in front of the fuel system new in 2007, all other areas are asphalt.

Great place, indeed! The fuel pump works great and the price is awesome. Tried to enter the building after taking care of all my planes' liquids to use the washroom but found myself confronted with a riddle pertaining to the combination lock at the door. It involves the emergency frequency but it is so complicated that you need a PhD in Mathematics or be a CIA trained cryptologist to figure it out. Well, I happen to have a PhD in science and still couldn't figure it out. No wonder that mushrooms grows around the building! Anyway, this just for the reader's entertainment! Love this place and always make a point in stopping there for fuel and a meal break.
