There’s nothing like firsthand experience when it comes to planning a route with great FBOs along the way.
AVweb reader Joseph Barber had been to this week’s top FBO, North Star Aviation at Ravalli County Airport (6S5) in Hamilton, Montana, two years ago and remembered the positive experience:
I first discovered North Star … when making an ice run during an especially hot camping trip in Moose Creek. The FBO was unusually friendly and helpful then. This past week, during another back country stay, I discovered a maintenance problem and limped in to Hamilton on a Friday afternoon. Herman, the A & P, efficiently took care of the problem and sent me on my way, at far less cost than I was anticipating. The following Sunday, on our way back home to Seattle, we stopped for fuel to discover the owner hosting a pancake breakfast.
This is an unusually friendly and capable FBO, as helpful to back country campers as it is to the turboprops and jets it services.
