Last week, the Cessna Pilots Society held their annual fly-in at Spearfish, South Dakota, bringing over 50 Cessnas to bear on today’s “FBO of the Week,” Eagle Aviation.

We were flooded with comments from pilots who attended the event, many of whom told the tale of an overwhelmed FBO pulling off the near-impossible without breaking a sweat. Apparently the FBO offered a special rate on fuel to attendees and were johnny-on-the-spot when it came to assisting pilots with their tie-downs, serving up tasty barbecue, keeping the facilities “spotless” in spite of the crowds, and (according to one attendee) even resolving some issues with a rental car company on pilots’ behalf. Jeffrey Chipetine writes, “A full ramp coupled with a full field of airplanes didn’t faze them in the least. … No matter what we needed (including such odd things as a PA system), Eagle came through for us.”

Congrats to Laurie, Ray, and all the rest of the crew who got name-checked in this week’s nominations. There’s no doubt you guys worked hard to earn a nod as AVweb‘s “FBO of the Week”!
