FBO Spotlight: Lanmar Aviation (KGON)
Groton, Connecticut

In our FBO Spotlight series, we’re highlighting FBOs around the country that have received rave reviews from our readers. The latest Spotlight is brought to you by Bruce Drost, who recently flew into KGON in a PA 28-181.

“On arrival they greeted my family and I with a big smile, wheel chocks and a golf cart. They were so friendly. They wanted to get to know us. Most were pilots themselves and we immediately started sharing experiences, history and, well, just hangar flying. Offered to call and get us a cab, rental car, etc. They were Fantastic. And, as the shifts changed and others were on duty — they all had a great personality! It was a highlight of our brief vacation to the Connecticut Shore and Block Island.”
