AVweb’s “FBO of the Week” ribbon goes to St. Thomas Municipal Airport at CYQS in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada.
AVweb reader C. Moon says he visited the FBO twice and was impressed both times.
“I’ve visited St. Thomas, Ontario, twice, and both times I’ve received first-class service — in one case beyond expectation. The first time the starter gear on my Cardinal sheared, grounding my copilot and I late on a Sunday afternoon. The airport was deserted, save for the manager. Rather than have me call my wife to make a 100-mile pickup journey, he pulled a 172 out of the hangar and had us on the way immediately. No fuss, no paperwork, no check ride. And no 100-mile car ride back with a less-than-pleased spouse. Last Sunday I paid a return visit. The crew car was made available to my wife and I for the entire afternoon to tour the area. No charge and no paperwork, just a friendly greeting and hand over of the keys. We will return again. This airport operates as a model of how one dreams what personal flying can be.”
