    Nothing but good experience with the FBO management regarding tiedown, fuel and stay. One difficulty is in getting a taxi from the airport. Must be called from Saybrook and is inconvenient. Easy in/easy out regarding layout. ATC typically gives short void time, so be sure to get everything done before contacting them getting clearance.
