Now that the reconstruction of the primary runway is complete, Great Bend has contracted with P & N Flight and Charter to provide aviation services for local and transient aircraft. As the managing partner, Ryan Coulson and his family have moved to Barton County from Colorado to lead the effort. As the new fixed based operator(FBO), Ryan’s company will service and fuel not only the 55 local aircraft, but will rebuild the airport’s status as a mid-American fuel stop. The resulting fuel sales serve to increase the cash flow to the airport and the City of Great Bend.
