Front Range Aviation - Great Falls Montana

In 2000 while enroute to Oshkosh we stopped at Great Falls for fuel and
to wait out a Tstorm to the southeast. The battery contactor picked
that moment to fail. The owner of FRA was there and we put the airplane
in the hangar and he started taking it apart. Diagnosed the problem, no
parts available in town, attempted to rebuild/repait but was unable.
Had to order it overnight. We got a motel room, he said he'd have it
ready to go early in the morning for us. When we arrived the next day
the airplane was ready to go as promised. He charged me for the part
and only one (1) hour of labor. I know for a fact he spent at least 3
hours on it!! I made it a point to stop there for fuel on the way back
north, and will stop there anytime I get a chance to fly through that
area.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
