FBCK Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Did this trip last summer and made the mistake of hangaring the airplane at McMurray Aviation. Charged me $180 per night and had a disel engine running beside the airplane all day, the plane was covered in a black crap, didn't see it until I got home. M, I would be really interested in taking a look at your Aspen, I going to be doning some panel work latter on this year. Quote
jezzie Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 I enjoy your videos, when you come back stop at CZVL and we can have a coffee or lunch!! Or in the alternative go to a Oilers Game. Eldon C-GJEZ 77 M20J Quote
The201pilot Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Posted January 9, 2013 FBCK... McMurray aviation may have the worst customer service of any FBO I've flown into... LWJ and I have been across the country a couple times..unfortunately in Fort Mac, they have the monopoly. and with land and operating expenses so expensive we're stuck with them. Their pilots/instructors are great folks, just the rampies and front desk seems to be lacking. I called the day before i was to pick up my airplane last year (winter) asked if they could put it in the hangar for me (she was outside and cold for 2 weeks) They told me it wasn't a problem..my departure time was to be around 8AM weather dependant...when i arrived at the FBO, the woman behind the desk informed me that "they could not find my airplane" and "they tried to get a hold of me" ! Hilarious...it seems the way it works for them is as though they are doing me a "favour" by having them move my airplane around or "letting" me park there. Although i am a promt paying regular customer. I know have a titled spot at the north end of the airport, so no more ramp fees for them. I do have them warm my plane up overnight in the winter. BE WARNED THE OVERNIGHT HANGAR CHARGE IS NOW 240$...Talk about highway robbery. But, It's Fort Mac !...As for the Aspen...I'm COMPLETELY satisfied with how she turned out...Looking forward to getting the 1000MFD in the next 3-4 months.. Quote
