Flying small planes around is always an adventure, and when things don't go according to plan, a good FBO can make all the difference.
We were ferrying a single engine airplane from Montana to California when two unforecasted weather fronts closed in and stopped us in our tracks. What we'd hoped to be a brief stay while we waited for weather to pass turned into a day and a half. Northstar was tremendously helpful. From swapping sea stories with Andy the night crewman, to chatting with the firebomber pilots passing through, everyone couldn't have been friendlier. The amenities are top notch- we had the opportunity to utilize most of them - snooze room, lounge, computers, crew car, etc.
We ended up having to leave our airplane in their hands for a while. Unfortunately airport ramp construction rendered one of their hangars unusable, and they were short of hangar space. When they couldn't offer us a spot, they waived our outside tie down fees and gave us a ride to our hotel.
If you're in need of an FBO in Missoula, Northstar is definitely the place! read more
