CONROE, Texas — In operation since 1982, General Aviation Services FBO at Lonestar Executive Airport (KCXO) switched hands to new owners, Herd Air Group, this summer.
The new owner plans to keep the FBO’s name, as well as its relationships with Avfuel.
“I was impressed by the spirit of the operation,” said Chad Herdrich, owner. “I’m excited to join together with the passionate team here at General Aviation Services FBO. They value what’s important: safety, service and a love for aviation.”
General Aviation Services FBO, which doesn’t charge ramp fees, provides a pilot conference room, pilot lounge and cinema, kitchen, free WiFi, rental and courtesy cars, available conference room and office space, and overnight hangar space.
Herdrich said he anticipates beginning development in the next few years to double the size of the FBO’s hangar and add a jet awning.

August 22, 2016 at 7:41 amI well remember the kind friendship and hospitality offered to me 25 or so years ago by the late Gary Hudson and all at General Aviation Services. As an airshow enthusiast from the UK visiting the CAF at Harlingen and Midland I first met Gary and the gang. He suggested I visit GAS at Conroe. I was invited to fly the Vultee BT-13 Valiant and enjoyed the experience along with introducing some local pilots to its snap rolling capabilities.
I hope the new owners will keep all the traditions of GAS and that the venture will thrive.
Best wishes,
