Great job Freeman Jet Center at Acadiana Regional Airport in ! Another example of great service you will find here!

Stop in to Freeman Jet Center - Acadiana, Louisiana and see why Philippe C. gave them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ on Airnav!

"Early October 2022, on our way from San Antonio to Orlando we stopped at KARA. At the Freeman Jet Center, spacious and comfortable, Brandy welcomed us and showed great hospitality with the crew car to solution miscommunication with the local rental car for our overnight stay. A few days later not only did she telephoned us indicating that we had left our charging transceiver in the crew car but was so nice as shipping back the device to our home address. Cannot be more gracious than this. Best FBO I have been to in many years! Thanks for your kindness!"
