    I want to leave a one, but the Melanie who answered the phone was helpful in getting what I needed…read more Past that, wasn't too pleased. I'm already a pilot and have flown through my airports with several different planes all rented. This FBO is for sure my least favorite. Other review mentioned planes being hot - that's an untold truth across all GA. My main disgust was how filthy and worn out the plane I rented was. OIL all over the belly, bugs all over the windscreen and wing tips. Even the CFI said "yeah all they pay for is safety checks, nothing else. Pinching Pennie's" but obviously that's a stretch as the shoulder harness wouldn't retract right. On another night, prior to takeoff there was another CFI talking about how he had just been to a strip club and woke up hungover (not that day) just unprofessional in that setting. Last thing I want to do is take a lesson from guys talking about strip clubs. To each their own, but no respect for that. The FBO overall was decent, but you could tell they try to do it cheap. Especially compared to MANY other FBO's I've had the delight of going to.

    Went for an intro flight, plane was hot as hell doors/windows were not left open prior to flight…read morenor was I told to dress comfortably, for an intro flight you think they would give you that info. Poured sweat for the 10 minutes while on the ground. The headsets did not work, could not talk to the flight instructor to ask questions while in flight, yelling did not work so I just gave up even trying, huge disappointment ! The plane is about what you would expect for a training aircraft old and dirty but at least it worked, certainly does not get you excited about flying though. No complaints about the flight instructor however he was great, it's not the instructor that ruined the experience it was everything else about it that did. Highly recommend that you have working equipment (headsets) and warn customers about the heat especially on an intro flight in the summer, obviously some people on an intro flight don't fully know what to expect. Ruined any interest I had in pursuing a ppl or flying from Over the Mountain again.
