This is one of the many reasons we have to stop user fees from encroaching on "our" air space. We need these guys to stay in business...

I used the 100LL web site to find a cheap fuel stop and picked KYKN as a good, cheap stop. Called in on unicom and Gary the owner/operator responded and offered to meet me at the fuel farm to make my turn around as expeditious as possible. On the ground, Gary offered me food, drink, facilities and told me about his decades of IA and A&P experience and capabilities and how he loves airplanes, aircraft-oriented work and running an FBO that offers what pilots need. Like a real live courtesy car, pilot weather, and recommendations about what to do and where to do it locally if you're there for the night. A good guy, a good stop and a great attitude. Not so incidentally,among other things he's got a GlasAir and an Epic LT based there and his fuel price was about $1/gallon cheaper than neighboring Sioux Falls prices.
