Heading south to Florida from Michigan, I stopped in to Middlesboro from Lee County because of the cheap fuel. What a surprise. I felt like I had discovered something truly special. Cross the ridge from the east and glance over at all the folks waving at you from the tourist overlook -- at eye level! Then the airport appears, like a beautiful gem in a see of manicured grass and neat houses. The small town has embraced this airport, which sits pretty much in the middle of it. You can walk to McDonalds, take a crew car to something better or ... And there is a huge natural gas grill anyone can use anytime for a picnic or cookout. Glenna the airport manager met me and made me feel completely welcome. She was great, as was Les, the full-time volunteer. Yes, the takeoffs and landings require thought, but just call ahead and ask before you leave. The locals couldn't be nicer. I will make a special point to stop here whenever I can.

In reference to the previous post, "well lit", be advised 1A6 doesn't have runway lights.

This is the local FBO pilot’s dream of finding! Beautiful location, clean, well lit, and accessible after hours with weather computer available. Self-service pump works well. Note: correct image for which way to slide card is by card reader, not as shown on screen. Departing straight out on Rwy 28 requires steady > 500 FPM climb to > 3, 000 ft to clear ridges. Highly recommend 1A6!

Stopped last week - 2nd time in 8 mos. 1A6 is exactly 1/2 way from NEW (Lakefront, LA) to DXR (Danbury, CT) Great facility, SS as advertised & only small disappointment now is that the P-38 & Museum have moved on. Beautiful little airport nestled in the hills as long as it is good VFR.

I stopped on my way to Florida from Michigan. Great fuel price. Clean facilities. Used crew car to go for food! I'll be back!

Stopped in Middlesboro on a trip down south. Cheapest fuel around! A very nice airport nestled in a bowl shaped valley. The runway and grounds were very well maintained and the self serve pump was easy to use. A great little GA airport.

Great facilities with great fuel prices. Just discovered this location, and will make it my regular fuel stop for my frequent trips to TN. Be careful with the surrounding mountain terrain. Don't try it in marginal weather, and be careful when you are flying heavy.

Came in Christmas Eve. No one there, as expected, but facilities are top notch! Very clean and nice FBO. Fuel prices as listed. Will definitely use as a fuel stop anytime in this area. Must have good weather and good climbing aircraft to safely get in and out, but if able, definitely worth the stop.

Nice airport with the best fuel prices around. No runway lighting so plan to be out before dark. Surrounding terrain would make it unwise to land after dark anyway.

Visited on 7/1/06 and was pleased with the experience. Self Service fuel was economical and a crew car was avaialble for the family. The restored P-38, Glacier Girl, is on display in a hangar on the grounds. Call ahead for advisories on landing in the valley where 1A6 is located.
