Comments for North Carolina, United States

This is a most friendly little airport. The owner does request you not depart when the runway is very soft, though.

Over 40 hours at this airport and I visit it often

nice strip operated since 1969 by same owner RET. NAVY/US Air

This is a nice family airport where everyone, GA, Ultraligh, LSA, Experimental, PPG or trike, If that thing flies, its welcome. We offer GA gas at the lower price you can find. Please, visit us.

Owners are NOT friendly.

The airport is under new management in Steve Merritt, an experience pilot and manager. Don't miss the big annual fly-in -- High Flight 2010 on September 18-19, 2010. See airport website for details.

Not anymore, he ran the FBO in the ground with his "business skills", and the county decided to let him run it when they took over. Ain't inbreeding grand?

Stopped in here in December 2009 -- 100LL was under $4.00/gal. City/County run airport with no fuel competition. Busy airport with nice terminal facilities. Lots of NASCAR customers. No restaurant at the airport, but the do have crew cars. TSS

Stop in regularly for business... no ramp fees unless overnight. 100LL fuel prices are so-so.

The FAA uses '3NC2' for Garner Road Heliport, Raleigh, NC

I visited this airport by foot and did a write-up about it in my blog:

You won't see the runway until on final, but the Wright Memorial is easy to see and about 300 yd east of the runway.

Rolling out on 2 or 20 you are about 500ft from where it all began in December 1903. Every pilot should land here. A literally awesome place.

Check out this aiport that opened in May 2009... closing former airport (RZZ)

I did all my training from first flight through commercial at Sugar Valley. It is a great airport. The narrow (24ft) runway is different for most pilots and the 60 foot trees just off the arrival end of 20 are interesting for most pilots. If anyone wants to buy an airport, it is for sale.

This is a private strip but I landed there several times while training out of Sugar Valley. It is neat how the north west end opens onto the Yadkin River.

The satellite image provided is more than 4 years old! KMRN now has new hangar buildings, a parallel taxiway from the mid-field ramp at taxiway C to the end of RWY 21, new pavement markings, two helipads next to the FBO building, and the wind sock and segmented circle have been relocated.

LHZ has the cheapest fuel prices in eastern NC... and it is full service. Rob Southerland is new airport director.

If you have a day to kick around... great location to fly the family to the beach. Park your aircraft, load up the beach chairs and walk across the highway to the beach. Check the weather carefully as winds make it difficult to land here. Not attended and no services available.

You should call ahead before flying in... no fuel available. Weather changes quickly -- no ASOS. Must register to park overnight, but stay is limited. No services available.

If you need to keep your IFR currency... recommend flying to GSO... Tower will work with you -- great group... easy to work with.

The airport is owned by the University of North Carolina and is scheduled to close in 2010 to make room for campus expansion. Too bad -- nice airport.

Stop by and visit with Howie Franklin -- Airport Manager, who used to serve on Air Force One... His office is a museum. He loves visitors... even give you a discount on fuel.

Great rustic terminal... great ramp service. Crew car available to run onto town for a meal... Call ahead, busy during the summer months. Overnight free with fuel purchase.

Stop in to this quiet airport for some quick inexpensive self service fuel anywhere along the Atlantic coast corridor... great intermediate stop from NY to FL. Say high to George the airport manager... great service.

Decent eats right on the airport... pick a nice afternoon to fly in and enjoy the scenery and chocolate cake for dessert... Cheap fuel.

Great place to eat just off the airport. Homestead Restaurant http://www.thehomesteadsteakhouse.com/ When flying in... call ahead on Unicom 122.7 to arrange a free ride to/from the restaurant from the terminal. Great place to eat lunch and dinner. Posted by Komatoast

Very Nice staff at Million Air!

When USAIRWAYS closed the Cincinnati Station in 1997, I was forced to transfer and here's where I went. I liked the people, loved the area and left some good friends here on my way to KCMH where I polished off my career.

Nice little airport tucked away in a river valley, Transylvania County is home to some nice folks.

Greg Turner runs a first class operation at this airport.

5000' runway, nice approaches, and super nice people. Lest I forget, there's also the 57A cafe next to the terminal. It's not haute cuisine but it is convenient and the pretty good.

I fly into 1A5 about 6 times per year from South Florida. Atl radar can keep you till 7000 below that you need clear skies there is no instrument appproach. Toccoa Toc is a great alternate with a GPS approach and is in the foothills of the mountains. Franklin has a very friendly staff and a real nice FBO. I suggest landing on RWY 25 and taking off on RWY 7. Fly Safe Brett Panter flyern2568mike@aol.com

Was down in NC for vacation, decided to check out in and rent a 172 to give some friends a short tour of the southern NC coast. The check out instructor was nice and pointed out many sightseeing and local landmarks. Check-out was a *little* longer than I felt necessary, but again, was partly a sightseeing tour.

Chrap fuel!

Use ILM Aero when you are here!
