Went here for my first long distance solo cross country. FBO is down a taxiway a bit, but was worth the taxi. Good coffee and there was helpful people willing to help me park and chocked the wheels. When 10 miles out I gave a position report and tje FBO responded! Offered coffee right over the air! I was not going to stop, but if they offer I have to try. For a small little airport they had a lot to offer. Did not get to go to the terminal, but looked fancy.
This connection with Air Choice One made my trip much easier. The staff here are friendly, but keep in mind you are probably the most exciting thing that TSA has seen all day.
It's a very small airport but the staff is awesome. It does take a while to go through the checkpoint because they search everyone's stuff but, truthfully, that's awesome. If any scumbag ever gets through to a major airport with some terror object it won't be from one of these commuter hubs - these folks are top notch.
Also, they're as nice as Canadians! They made it fun and not-scary for my girls to go through security and gave my kids TSA stickers.
We are so blessed to have such a fabulous airport in our little city of Ironwood. The plane is comfortable, the pilots are cordial and capable, and the take offs and landings are always clean and smooth. I've flown on Air Choice One many times and I've never had a bad experience. The planes are small, but I just imagine that I'm flying on my own private plane. It's a good feeling. :D
Shalom!

We flew out of this airport last year right after the goofball down at O"Hare had started a fire in the air traffic control building, causing cancelled and delayed flights for a week. The staff were absolutely wonderful at Gogebic-Iron Cty. Airport, making numerous calls to keep us updated as to our flights and connections. The wonderful woman behind the desk said she'd drive us to Chicago to catch our flight to London if need be but that proved to be unnecessary. I've flown from here several times and it is always a pleasant experience.
The two ladies that work at the counter and take care of bags are totally unbelievable. They are flight angles. I have never been treated to good and any airport anywhere in the world and I've been and traveled to and through most of them. Kudos to you, ladies you are fantastic. There should be more like you but I bet they broke the mold! My best to you both!
