“The hospitality was great, when we were deciding whether we could cross Mullan Pass through Deer Lodge we ran into some fellow pilots attempting the same route in a VFR only aircraft as well.”

These guys are great! Had an unexpected stay here overnight and Butte Aviation took care of me without hesitation. Facilities are clean.

Butte Aviation over charged us for ramp fee. Fuellerlink says ramp fee $200. They charged us $400. Double the price. Also the FBO grilled us for not taking fuel. And threatened a pilot with a story of how they had a pilot fired for not getting fuel there. We elected to tanker fuel in Spokane due to weather and forecast. Do not stop here if you can avoid it. Manager very rude.

Owner Trevor is a nice guy and helpful. Older owner is challenging to be around and made us feel unwelcome. Newly remodeled facility is beautiful, will return. Thanks again Trevor for your great service!

Stopped in for a few gallons of AV Gas on our way to Seattle. It was a nice little airport, great runways. The hospitality was great, when we were deciding whether we could cross Mullan Pass through Deer Lodge we ran into some fellow pilots attempting the same route in a VFR only aircraft as well. As we decided to leave, the manager took his plane for a spin to run some winterization oil and take a peek at the actual weather for all of us. We left as he was returning with the good pirep, and made it through with impeccable timing. You don't find this kind of hospitality in the big city. Thank you!

Good facility. Snacks and coffee available. Lots of reading material, if you want that. Clean, comfortable. Would be nice to have a code for pilots to let themselves in or out the door, however.
