If I could put ten stars here I would! Landed today to take a break from my photo mission and fuel up. There is no way to explain how nice everyone was. First, I met John, a local pilot who told me all about the airport and it's history. Also told me there was a car if I needed lunch. I wandered inside to use the facilities and met a teenager who was hanging out working on his RC helicopter. We talked about RC planes a little bit. Went back out and fueled up and then Middlesboro Airport Legend Les showed up. I had read about Les in the comments here and planned my fuel stop for Middlesboro just to meet him. He is a great guy and super cool dude! He offered the courtesy car, told me even more info about the airport, and basically acted as Middlesboro's tourism official. While talking with Les, Glenna showed up. Just as nice. I think I'll go back to Middlesboro and take the car out to see if I can find anyone in town in a bad mood.

Not enough room to write all the positives here! $4.43 for fuel? Just paid $7.18 last night at KLZU in Atlanta! Kids were hungry and Les showed us food in the clean kitchen. Facility was clean and well kept. Everyone was friendly- Les explained the fueling procedures to us. This may be a tricky place to land / take off in low visibility, so do your homework. Outstanding experience for my whole family. We will stop on our way back to OH.

Came on in late at night. Did not quite realize that the lights are not PCL, however was met as soon as I landed with an offer to help in fueling. I would recommend this place to anyone flying in this area.

Very nice stop on my cross-country flight. Was met and assisted by an extremely nice airport volunteer "Les." He set us up with the crew car and drew out a map of some places to go eat. I sure appreciate airports like this that hold down fuel prices and still provide wonderful service!!!!!!! Thank you for keeping General Aviation more affordable to the General public :)

Although the airport could be a bit tricky due to the hills around it, this is a nice stop. Les, a volunteer who lives on the field, welcomed us and even helped with the fueling.

Stayed the weekend to visit our son attending a local college. Was met by follow me who guided us to the pull through parking. Nice new terminal and good fuel prices. Glynna was very helpful not only with the airplane but with the local area. We look forward to going back. If you leave in IFR be sure to do your homework. Have a plan and know if your airplane can make the climb requirements.

Stopped northbound for fuel. Pump and hose area could use a bit of clean up. No cover for pump nozzle and that always makes me a bit nervous I like to see these looking spiffy. I know that not all self serve users take good care of the hose and nozzle. Come on folks. I hate battered nozzles that look like they have been dragged all over the place. Price was very good for the area. Courtesy car avail, no need today. Folks let me use personal computer for some stuff to plan international flight. Nice new ramp etc. The airport would be a very challenging landing and takeoff spot in darkness poor vis etc. Make sure you are aware of the surroundings. Response from John L. Brown, Attorney, Middlesboro Bell County Airport Board
Someone did "borrow" the cap for the pump nozzle, but that was promptly replaced. We try to inspect and service the equip, after each pilot uses the self-serve pump. Park anywhere on the apron at a tie-down, and come through the old brick bldg., to our new metal bldg to the south.

According to AirNav the fuel is Air BP, but on the pumps is says Shell? Unable to verify fuel type. Not sure what's up there but I'd prefer BP and have a BP card to use.

Arrived at 1A6 on 10/7 and greeted by very helpful volunteers. Provided excellent mechanical assistance on 10/10. The facilities and the people are great. Lots of good things going on there!!!!!

Due to ramp construction, be very careful when taxing to the 100LL SS. As of today, you can only approach the ramp/gas pump area from the West. For the hose to reach, you must be very close to a DEEP drop-off. The NOTAM doesn't do the actual construction justice. Be VERY CAREFUL of drop-offs!!

Well what can I say, all the comments are true. Day only airport operations and price was as advertised. Local pilots very friendly! Caution: Airport is surrounded by hills and terrain and can make arrival very interesting if not familiar. Look closely at charts and plan a 28 landing and a 10 departure.

Great stop. There was a problem with the self-serve pump that was going to be fixed in the near future but a local pilot arrived and helped us out with the refuel. Was offered the use of the courtesy car as well. Very friendly airport. Would stop again.

Arrived at 1A6, Middlesboro Bell County airport, 06-05-09 with one passenger for business. The FBO is great and outstanding staff. Glenna made sure I had a crew car for my passengers short visit, and just showed awesome customer service. The price of fuel is unbeatable. Glad they have a great GPS/A approach. Would not of been able to get in without it. If you are going to southern Kentucky, this is the place to stop for sure.
