Heber Valley Airport

The airport itself is nice, but the management, FBO, and city are a complete joke. Fuel is double the cost compared to nearby airports, and the FBO likes to claim it's some exotic destination, to justify price gouging. Also, they recently added a landing fee. There's so many other airports way more worth your time than this place.
The most unique, diverse, and nicest airport in Utah. There is a museum. They have gliders and glider rides, vintage aircraft, and vintage war plane, bi-planes, acrobatic planes and jets. And hot air balloons! Love it, highly recommended.
I had flown into Heber for years, but now I use Provo and drive up the canyon. It’s just not worth it to pay DOUBLE for fuel, snd pay their over the top, highest in the nation fees. All the other “public use” airports are basically free to use, and then there is Heber Valley Airport. I can get jet-a for 3.90 at bountiful, or pay 9.50 at Heber. More than double. And their 340 dollars in fees, no chance to use a crew car, and less than friendly staff. No marshaling…. I saw a review below where someone thought it was cute to give them 5 stars, just because another reviewer complained about the fees. When every other airport doesn’t have these fees and over the top fuel prices, you should complain, to everyone who will listen. I do my level best to spread the word about Heber Valley and their sole FBO (no competition allowed). Its not OK
America's most expensive yet unfriendly FBO, the OK3 Air is located at this airport. Was unfortunate to take my small piston-engine aircraft there for a few days. The ramp fee alone is $55 per night, when there was no single lineman in sight, after 4 PM. The FBO closed, no tie-down rope, and found a single piece of broken rope less than 2 feet long. And yes, with all that said, additional tie-down fees of $50 for a tie-down that never occurred. Mind you the FBO was also closed and I couldn't use even the bathroom. There was a sign on the door to go the city building outside the airport to use the bathroom in after hours, mind you it is still before 5PM. Went to the city building, had to go really bad, a guy, fortunately was there who let me in. It was snowing the next day so decided to call and switch to indoor hangar, $240 per night. Wait for it, the gas price $8.5 per gallon. I did mention these issues to the older lady at the desk. There were two working, the young one was on her phone, didn't even pause to listen. The older lady just bluntly said- yes everyone complains that we are expensive, we know, but we are ski town and we keep our prices comparative to Aspen!!! I don't understand how is that even a reason to be expensive. Not everyone that lands there is in their private jet to ski as well. Anyway, didn't buy any gas, and paid $645 in total for 4 nights of parking there. Am still waiting for the landing fees to come in the mail. Seriously, OK3 or Heber City whoever has to listen, please do something.
Nice airport. The annual car and plane show is always fun.
