Good Fuel Stop at Wichita

There is a full-service FBO here. The airport is at the north edge of town, away from the complicated airspace around the other (12+?) airports at Wichita. Fuel is expensive, but they have lots of hangars in case of thunderstorms during an overnight stop. Lots of hotels with shuttles to pick you up.
