"AVweb's "FBO of the Week" ribbon goes to the FBO at Mexico Memorial Airport
in Mexico, Missouri (KMYJ).
AVweb reader Jim Smith told us how the staff at KMYJ don't take trouble
lying down:
I stopped at the Mexico Missouri FBO to visit Zenith aircraft next door. I
inadvertently left my master switch on during my stay and, of course, had a
dead battery when I returned. The FBO manager stopped what he was doing to
help me. He first brought out a battery on a two-wheel hand cart, but the
batteries wouldn't turn over my C182. He then attempted a hand prop, but the
compression was too much. A few calls, and he found a 24 charger. He brought
the charger and some tools. He took off the plate and literally climbed
inside to place the battery clips. After about 10 minutes, the airplane
started. He then re-installed the plate and sent me on my way. Jay (employed
by the city of Mexico) would not take any money and was genuinely glad to
help. Very rare service indeed in these modern times. KMYJ has become a
must-stop for me in the future, if only to support a real aviation server."
