If anyone is flying cross country through this part of the country, XNA is a great place to stop by for fuel and food. If you call the FBO ahead of time, they'll hook you up with the best bbq sandwhiches youve had for a buck. Really nice FBO too.
We've flown in there several times to pick people up at the main terminal. It IS a nice FBO. They've always let us use their courtesy car to run over to the terminal. Didn't know about the bbq sandwiches. The folks on Razorback Approach are always really helpful and friendly.If anyone is flying cross country through this part of the country, XNA is a great place to stop by for fuel and food.

I'm looking at flying my Dad to a game in the fall Auburn vs. Arkansas. He went to Arkansas and I went to Auburn. I'd like to get some input on flying into both, especially any input on doing on a game weekend.
Thanks,
Orginally from New England, now I'm here in the middle of nowhere, good old Oklahoma...

Be advised that sometimes KFYV operates on a reservation system for IFR on game days. But that's usually when we play good teams, so the Auburn game shouldn't be a problem.
If you decide to come to the game send me a PM. If you want to fly into KVBT you can take my truck to the game. Easy in / easy out. Let me know.

Hey!
As for reservation, do I need to get that set-up with FYV or are they just giving preference to IFR? I would plan on filing IFR and definitely do it if it got me if needed (weather or reservation).
I know Fayetteville hotels will be packed, what about Bentonville hotels?

Well you'll have to join us in June. welcome to the forum!I am new to "forums" but wanted to let you folks know that I enjoyed an article in the April 2007 issue of Twin & Turbine magazine about the fly-in at Gaston's. I fly into XNA often and agree that the service is excellent. The only time that the fbo has been really packed is when the Razorback team is flying out for a game.
Hey Wayne, don't know how Chattanooga got into this thread, but if you're stopping thru and are interested in dinner, or need help in any way, drop me a line.
If we go, I'll probably fly out of 3M3 as my parents live in the Chattanooga area.
Five miles from 3M3? Are you guys going to park the M20J there? I don't think it has an instrument approach, but you could land at CHA if needed.
