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.

Stopped in a few weeks ago to pick up a passenger going to Myrtle Beach with us because her normal airport (Campbell County-JAU) was closed. What a nice surprise! Great facilities and cheap fuel. I might have to make Middlesboro my normal pick up spot for her. Beautiful location, too.

Stopped to get gas at Middleboro on my way from Florida to Indianapolis. Very nice FBO building, friendly local people stopped by to visit and airport management honored the guaranteed price of the fuel, even though the price changed from the time I departed Florida until the time I landed at Middleboro. I will return again and hope to have time to see the town.

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.

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.
