Gear would not raise on my Piper Lance. Diverted to Manhattan. Gordon at Heartland delayed other projects to get the plane up on jacks, and we soon solved the problem - weak circuit breaker. Fair charge for the service. The stone hangar was built by workers during the Depression. If you are doing a splash and dash (fuel and bathroom break) this would be a good spot for it. (Women probably would not care for the bathroom.) The fuel is self-serve. Gordon is knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks for bailing me out of a problem.

I was flying to Manhattan in a Grumman Tiger to spend a Friday night and Saturday morning in town. My vacuum pump failed 20 minutes from Manhattan. I landed and spoke to Gordon from Heartland Aviation on the phone around 4pm on a Friday. He came into the shop on a Saturday morning to replace my vacuum pump and I was on my way. Thank you Gordon.

Had my prop governor malfunction just at start of takeoff run and was unable to get over 1600 RPM on my 182. Gordon stopped what he was doing, went out to the plane with me and was able to get the pitch adjusted up to 2300 RPM so I could make the short flight to my home base and have my local A & P take care of it. Gordon totally made my day and would take no payment. That's what good FBO's are all about.

These guys saved me from what could have been a multi-day delay. I was so impressed with Gordon & John. Gordon is up for a challenge & always has a great attitude. Not a fancy place, but they know airplanes.

Gordon, of Heartland, was extremely helpful and kind. We had a starting problem and he stopped what he was doing and with his experience and knowledge got us back up in the air. I think he is a straight shooter.

I've lived and flown in the area for over 7 years. During that time, I've kept an airplane at Manhattan and Junction City. Heartland Aviation is the FBO to choose if you need prompt service, great fuel prices, and friendly advice. Gordon has gone out of his way on more than one occasion to keep me in the air, whether it was a tube for a tire, a set of spark plugs, or even just an oil filter, they always seem to have what I need in stock. If your looking to have someone shine your shoes while you stroll to your courtesy car, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU... But if your looking for a great Midwest FBO that provides quality services along with great rates, Heartland Aviation is your home in the Flint Hills.

No service charges or overnight parking fees. Self-serve pump is well maintained and user friendly. Bare bones with a small bathroom in the limestone hangar building. Not a full-service FBO, just through the gate access, but you can't beat the price. I wish more airports had an alternative like this for when you don't need the full-services (and high prices) of an FBO.
