First experience with B. Coleman, and there were some bumps. They were helpful at arranging a rental car at a time of constrained supply, so kudos for that effort. Young line guy was very nice and personable, but more experienced line personnel who were the ones "authorized to move planes" didn't seem like they wanted to do their jobs, as our aircraft was on a "back lot" when we arrived for departure and no one at B. Coleman offered to have it moved up for us to load. When I asked for it to be moved up, the "authorized" guy appeared to roll his eyes but finally did move it. Young girl at the desk seemed indifferent to our presence and my desire to pay the bill. I didn't receive the Oshkosh fuel discount even though they advertised it (and we were traveling from Oshkosh). All in all, the operation didn't seem like a well-oiled machine and our experience wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be.

Very nice experience at B. Coleman. Clean. Friendly personnel. Good service. Gary airport, itself, however is using a third party company which essentially uses ADS-B data to tack on extra fees for daily parking.

Coleman is always excellent. However, received a surprise bill from Vector in the mail later for an airport landing fee. Irritating, because I paid to install ADSB for safety, weather, and traffic awareness, not to provide a business opportunity for someone to bill me for what is already publicly funded. Be aware.

Excellent FBO and airport! I initially chose B Coleman over Midway because Jet A was $3/gallon cheaper with CAA. The service was great, and they have an overhang large enough for a Gulfstream, which was a lifesaver in the December rain. The FBO is gorgeous with a movie room and even exercise room. In afternoon rush hour traffic, GYY was about ten minutes closer than MDW to downtown Chicago. Not to mention the taxi in was less than 30 seconds and I got cleared for the visual ten miles out. This will definitely be our new go-to for Chicago visits!
