Had a wonderful stay seeing the sights in Smokey Mountain Nat'l Park. We landed (GKT) at about 8:30 pm back in Mid-August, about sunset. The FBO Looked awesome, but unfortunately we were not able to access the facilities. Once arriving from Oklahoma (RCE), my wife and myself were in need of a restroom. It would be exceptional convenient if GKT could put in a keypad for Pilots and their passengers to use the facilities after normal business hours. If not willing for general aviation to use the FBO after hours please consider a bathroom with a door that opens to the tarmac.

I've been here before and they usually are quite friendly and responsive. But on my stop there today, despite being told TWICE what I needed for fuel and how to fuel my plane, they dangerously and negligently over fueled me by filling the aux tanks (which I told them NOT to fuel) and leaving my main tank untouched (which I told them TWICE that I wanted topped and how it had to be done in the Navion). Had I not caught their incompetence, this could have been a massive safety issue.

Easy in and easy out... The interesting thing though was the rental car was a Dodge Charger. I enjoyed driving that...
