This Fixed Base Operator levies a 3 percent surcharge for purchasing 100LL using a credit card.

The line service was disappointing, and the facility fees were quite high.

59LM 8-22-25. What exceptional service Hawthorne provides! I needed to make a quick trip to Eau Claire to get a computer screen fixed for our business. On short notice, I contacted the FBO. A very pleasant lady, Dorleen, answered the phone. I explained our situation and that we needed ground transportation for just about an hour. She assured me she would make it happen. They tracked our flight and knew exactly when we would arrive. The line crew was ready and waiting, and the car was prepared. Hawthorne offers first-class service in Eau Claire.

Handling fees and minimum fuel loads for Jet A are higher than typical. The fuel price ranks among the third or fourth highest in the state.

I stopped there for a little over an hour at the beginning of July. There were no fees for ramp parking. Personnel were very pleasant to work with.

Excellent service. Unfortunately, the restaurant is closed on Sundays, so plan accordingly for a weekend trip.
