Town of Bethel (FBO)

at Bethel Regional Airport

From James Baum on 11-Nov-2007

This spot just became an even better ski destination. I flew there today for the Sunday River 2007/2008 opening day an learned that there is now a taxi service in Bethel! This service has been badly needed by us skiing pilots for some time and here it is. The airport continues to provide plug in utilities to run the airplane tanis heater - often needed in the winter in these parts. There is rarely someone there in my experience but it's got all you need to stop in and enjoy some time in the mountains.

Very good experience on our weekend ski trip. First of all some things that are missing from the information on this airport. First, its been completely repaved; Second, there are 4 tiedowns with power outlets ($10/night); Third a shuttle bus to the ski area and town stops at 9 and 10 am with other times on request (phone number in pilot shack); Fourth there is pilot controlled lighting 5 clicks on unicom (but don't land at night unless you can see mountains without light) and Fifth very friendly people. I would like to thank Harold (resident pilot) for the ride to the Bethel Inn

Excellent airport! Best fly-in skiing in the East (Sunday River) is easily accessed through 0B1. The airport provides tie-down ropes, plenty of parking, good self-serve fuel, a small, heated, shack with a telephone and reading materials and, most importantly, the Mountain Explorer Free Shuttle will take you from the airport to the ski resort in 10 minutes. Information to contact the bus is posted in the shack. Incredible snow removal and an Asst Mgr that takes tremendous pride in his airport makes this a great stop.

They are now near completion of a much larger ramp area which looks capable of parking many more and larger aircraft. They have moved the new self serve pumps to make room for the larger ramp and it looks like they will be replacing the old building which previously was not much bigger than an ice fishing shack. This is one of my favorite airports. Stop in and say hello to Harold. You will often find him sitting out front of his hanger next to his Piper twin. Very nice guy with a lot of historical knowledge of the airport.
