Sadly, the airport seems rather dead. But this is a Thursday so maybe it's more busy on weekends? I hear their fly-in breakfasts still pull in a really large crowd. This is the only plane I can find on the field.

The fuel farm. Seems they only sell Avgas 100. It's blue in color to help mark the octane rating. I used to work line service at Genesee Country Airport in Batavia, NY to earn money for college. At that time we sold two brands of Avgas, 80 and 100. 80 octane was red in color and was used by older planes. To signal cross-contamination of gas octanes, if you mix the two fuels together, it immediately explodes! Ha! Did I fool you? I was just kidding. It actually just turns the fuel clear.

This was the "main hanger" (and only hanger) when I last visited years ago.

A portion of the new hangers that I haven't seen before.

Here is the office. I didn't go inside because I'm wearing silly biking gear and that makes me feel stupid. Yeah, I know, dumb reason.
