It would be greatly appreciated if the airport board would be willing to provide a fuel truck to offer an added option in terms of aircraft fueling at Frankfort. In the past, there was a fuel truck based on-field at the airport and quite a few pilots valued and used the service. In recent years, this has not been an option and either the fuel has to be hand carried to the aircraft, the aircraft must be moved to the pump, or the plane has to wait until a staff member can pull it to the pumps and fuel it. The Frankfort airport is seeing more activity and growth, a trend which hopefully will continue, and boasts many wonderful amenities such as a modern FBO, helpful staff, and an on field mechanic. Offering a fuel truck is a basic service that many pilots and owners, both those based on-field and off field, would appreciate having available again and utilize. From the Board’s perspective, a fuel truck has the potential added benefit of producing revenue. We would appreciate and use a fuel truck based at KFKR!

The airport board is still ignoring our requests for a fuel truck despite the obvious revenue this would bring to KFKR. They refuse to acknowledge that we are tired of hauling fuel by hand and dragging planes across the field just to get service. We are not going anywhere until they stop stalling and make this investment.

I fly in quite a bit for some business in Frankfort. The airport has some of the best staff and facilities in the state. A fuel truck would be great and take this airport to the next level. Sometimes when I fly in, Sky Dive Indy is in front of the tanks. It’s just a small inconvenience so I swing by somewhere else to get fuel. I think a fuel truck would be a great asset to the airport.
FKR needs a fuel truck to provide better service to the customers on field. As I am one of the biggest 100LL users on the field I end up filling at other locations sometimes because this inconvenience of either having to self fuel or making it difficult on employees working at FKR. I think it is important for growth to provide this basic service at such a nice airport. Thanks
A fuel truck is a much needed addition to Frankfort
This Airport is a great assist to the County and to the City of Frankfort. With the future growth of flight operations and the increase of more aircraft being based here. It would be great to have a fuel truck again. Matt and Adam do a fantastic job and would do anything for us. A fuel truck would be used by people on and off the field. I also believe it would help the staff of the airport as well and increase income for the airport. Thank you for all you have done and will do for this airport in my opinion we have one of the nicest facilities and staff in the Midwest. Thank you for consideration in purchasing a fuel truck and helping FKR take another great step forward.
Please add a 100LL truck.
This would be a great service to the pilots that call this home for their planes.
Thank you for your consideration

The staff are First Wing are excellent and ALWAYS willing to help push aircraft around which is awesome but moving aircraft by hand (yes, my aircraft must be moved by hand) poses increased risk to the aircraft as well those moving the aircraft - particularly when the ramp and taxiway surfaces are slick due to rain, snow, or ice. Having a fuel truck would alleviate these concerns.
