Online Reviews Summary

Turkey Mountain Airport (MO00) in Shell Knob, US, is a private, uncontrolled airport primarily known for its vibrant community and popular fly-in events rather than traditional commercial traveler services. Traveler sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, centered around the welcoming atmosphere and unique aviation experiences it offers. The "travelers" are predominantly pilots flying in for events and local residents who attend.

What Travelers Love

Community and Welcoming Atmosphere: The airport is celebrated for its strong sense of community, largely fostered by owner Judy Reynolds and the popular fly-in events.
Unique Fly-in Events: Monthly fly-ins during the summer (May-October) are a significant draw, featuring themed meals like "MO00 burgers" and "omelet-in-a-bag" breakfasts, which are highly anticipated by attendees. These events attract both pilots and local residents, creating a lively social gathering.
Grass Runway Experience: Pilots appreciate the opportunity to land and take off from the 3,950 x 80 ft turf runway, noted as one of the longest grass airstrips in Missouri and generally in good condition.
Fuel Availability: 100LL fuel is available, and pricing has been noted as self-service.

Common Complaints

Lack of Commercial Facilities: As a private airport, traditional terminal facilities, amenities, and services found at commercial airports are non-existent. There are no reported security wait times, customs/immigration services, or dedicated transportation connections beyond personal arrangements.
Limited Services: Beyond fuel, there are no airframe or powerplant services available on site. Hotel or restaurant facilities are not directly at the airport, and there are no aircraft rental or flight school services advertised.
Obstructions and Eddy Currents: Remarks from FAA data indicate the presence of trees, fences, hangars, buildings, and power lines in the primary surface area, as well as eddy currents near the south end of the runway.

Overall, Turkey Mountain Airport offers a highly personal and community-focused aviation experience, particularly through its well-loved fly-in events. It is an excellent destination for general aviation pilots seeking a friendly atmosphere and a unique grass strip landing, but it should not be considered for typical commercial travel needs.
