KECP

Anyone know if there is self serve fuel and a GA ramp at KECP?

Sheltair FBO but it’s expensive and there is no alternative nor self serve fuel.

Well it's the closest to the event we going to. Thanks.

Mike, the manager at Sheltair, has offered us a small discount on fuel in the past.  Perhaps based on the number of Mooneys present last year, he can offer a larger discount?

Mike has been most gracious in years past.

Stop at Defunaik Springs 54J.

6.58$/gal.  Can be had for a third less just a few miles away. Such as 1J0. We landed and topped off here on our trip from DC to Houston a couple years ago for the same reason.

You might be early, but you could ask for the Mooney Summit discount.  

KECP is the NorthWest Florida Beaches Airport .... PanamaCity...

Best regards,

I guess it really depends on your route of flight,  F95 is the cheapest ($3.55) in the area and only 36nm east.  54J ($4.25) is 30nm north west.  Either is worth the time to not pay $6.58.

While this has nothing to do with the Mooney Summit, Mike Lerma, Jack the line manager and the entire Sheltair staff at KECP are fantastic. They donate a HUGE hanger for our use on Fridays during the Mooney Summit, and feed everyone, registered or not for free. Pretty classy.

To me, its worth it to pay 20 extra bucks for a top off when you get 30 worth of bennies. Some people dont feel the same way and will eat the sheltair supplied food while planning to go 15 nm away to save a few dollars. I almost couldn't believe it when I saw it happening! Hopefully these will remain the exception so we can continue to receive the sponsorship and support of Mike and Sheltair. Excellent FBO's like Sheltair in KECP are a rarity.

Now if I were just trying to get thru the area and pay as little as I could for fuel, there are other options.

The two Mooney photos were direction correct on my ipad when I posted them. Now on my work PC they all jacked up.

The people at ECP are nice but I miss the old airport.  A lot more convenient, multiple runways, and multiple FBOs.

This one's just in the middle of nowhere while the other one was relevant to the city.
