Maybe it’s all the travel related to Sun ‘n Fun, but we received quite a few (really compelling) nominations for “FBO of the Week” over the last few days. The standout among these was a rather unusual recommendation (and plea) from AVweb reader Doug McDowall of EAA Chapter 165. Doug raved about two airports he frequents in North Little Rock, Arkansas – Barrett Aviation and Air Charter Express (ACE) – both located at North Little Rock Municipal Airport, KORK (formerly 1M1). On April 3, the airport was hit by a tornado, causing massive damage to both FBOs’ rental and charter airplanes. The two have still managed to keep up with Doug’s demands, and he hopes the exposure as AVweb‘s “FBOs of the Week” might encourage more people to stop by and support the FBOs during their reconstruction.
Doug writes:
[Fuel sales] may be the only source of income for both Barrett Aviation and Air Charter Express for months to come. If you are coming through this area and need to make a fuel stop, it would really help these two FBOs to get through some tough times. Barrett Aviation is a Phillips 66 dealer, and Air Charter Express handles Shell products (also has a 24-hour self-fueling faciltiy on the SW corner of the field). Both Barrett Aviation (Harry Barrett) & Air Charter Express (Tommy Murcheson) … have taken a major hit from Mother Nature and deserve a helping hand.
Keep those nominations coming. For complete contest rules, click here.
