Best feild trip! So much fun!
Do airplanes actually land there i dont see any skid marks in landing strip looks almost too clean
I flew in to Newton last week when it was snowing heavy, wet, snow. The FBO didn't have a hangar to put our airplane in (King Air 350i) and didn't have de-ice capability. Ballard Aviation pushed our airplane in the hangar and swept all of the snow off before it melted. Our departure time was fast approaching and it cut our downtime, significantly. The guys at Ballard Aviation went above and beyond our expectations and wouldn't accept any form of payment as I was willing to pay whatever they wanted. Fantastic guys who do a lot of work on King Airs. Thank you Ballard Aviation.
I had a helicopter that was under maintenance and needed to get it on a trailer. The guys at the FBO gave me Shane’s number I gave him a call and me thinking it was a long shot I’d get any help especially being short notice! Shane wasn’t in but called me back about an hour later and I told him my situation, he volunteered not only his forklift to help me out but a couple of his guys to help me get it loaded! He came down himself and ran the forklift and we got it loaded up! After getting it loaded he offered to take me down to his hanger and get some plugs for the spark plugs to seal them up for the drive and showed me around his hanger. Really appreciate the help I received and hope to look at buying a bell from him down the road!
Appreciate the help Mr. Shane!
