[KAMW] "Hap's" by redoverred

Comment by @redoverred on Ames Municipal Airport, United States:

I was very disappointed with Hap's. You would think for an airport that size and an FBO that has been operating since 1946(or whatever the sign said) they would have better service. I landed here two times, once for fuel and lunch, and the second to stay overnight. Neither time did an employee bother to clean my windscreen. When I landed to overnight, a line guy met me on the ramp to ask about fuel and parking. I was unloading my bags as he drove away in the golf cart. A pilot that landed in a jet and parked next to my 172 offered to help me with my bags since I was alone and had three bags to carry.

I hope for Hap's sake a better service FBO doesn't start up at Ames, because they would lose business with any competition whatsoever.

Boone Airport advertises itself as being "The friendliest little airport in Iowa". All true. :) Fun.

Gary McCartan is awesome. Bends over backwards to be of service to you as a pilot.

Great place to rent with. Always helpful and quick to help with questions. Can't find a better FBO.

There is a nice country style restaurant a short walk (or crew car drive) away.

ILS and VOR.

Glider operations on weekends in the warmer month.

I've never been to the airport, but I remember Jay well from the aviation Usenet groups -- he seems like a good guy, and I'm glad to hear that the hotel is still working out well.
