Great experience today! Very friendly people, clean, convenient, and great prices. Dropped in for a brief meeting in town. Vanessa was so hospitable that she let me borrow her car to drive to the courthouse. Not sure that is standard procedure, but it helped me a bunch. Thank you again! I'll be back!

I stopped in on the way back from Florida because of weather. The lady who runs the place was especially helpful and let us uses the company car for the day/night. The best food you will every eat is at the Defuniak Hotel. Well worth the stop over.

Great Service!!! Vanessa was very helpful as I was grounded do to bad weather and the rental car was out so Vanessa offered to drop me off at a motel in town and pick me up in the next morning. This was very helpful. I will use this airport on my trips though the Panhandle of Florida. Thank you Vanessa!!

Absolutely great service. Great alternative to DTS and cheaper fuel. Attitudes are upbeat and sincerely glad to see you. Best stop in northwest Florida.

Flew in from SSI on 8/4 for business. CEW was closed for runway repairs, so 54J was the closest option. Glad I stopped in. Friendliest service in North Florida. It was a slow Monday but they had the courtesy car running when we arrived to cool it off. Wow! Clean, courteous and professional, Emerald Coast Aviation is worth the stop!

When I was on the field having avionics installed at Monarch Aviation, I needed fuel. Before I could even taxi from the South hangar to the self-service pump, Vanessa heard I needed fuel and drove the fuel truck out to me. What service!! I'll be back.

Stopped here for several days in my PA-32. MUCH more user friendly and $1.50 cheaper avgas than DTS. (Only about 15 minute further drive to SanDestin/Grayton Beach area than DTS) They are working on several upgrades to airport. Will be back.

Flew into 54J yesterday to get a bite to eat at Mom & Dad's Italian (highly recommended). Was immediately greeted by Jonathan & Vanessa. They we're very friendly & provided us with chocks & a courtesy car. They didn't even expect a fuel purchase (thought fuel prices we're cheaper than others in the area) or any fees either. Excellent service.

I have been flying into 54J twice a month for the last year and a half. Jonathan and Vanessa are always a pleasure to deal with and both will bend over backwards to assist you any way they can. Fuel prices are always a bargain and service is great. Make it a point to write down their cell numbers just in case they are out and about. A great find in this part of Florida!

Great service at DeFuniak Springs (54J). The Jet fuel is $1.50 cheaper than DTS, and Emerald Coast Aviation will take better care of you.

Landed at Defuniak Springs today and had a great experience. The staff was friendly and helpful, offering a free courtesy car. Fuel prices are better than most in the area. I would advise 54J as a great alternative to Destin for beach travel.

Landed 54J on 12/11 due WX and PAX/patient problem. Received excellent assistance from staff, particularly John. Highly recommend service here.

A great place to stop and purchase fuel. Much better price than other area airports. It's much faster to drive to Santa Rosa from 54j than DTS when traffic is bad. (Always) All the people are nice also!

We normally stop there once or twice a week. And like always, Jonathan and Vanessa give us great services. Fuel prices are great too!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!

I was flying my Stearman west when the sun set. Put in to 54J and met Vanessa. Wow!! Great enthusiasm, provided a courtesy car, directions to great food, etc. Will make this a guaranteed stop.

We recently flew to Destin and upon checking fuel prices on AirNav.Com found Emerald Coast Aviation had very competitive fuel prices and provided fantastic service. WELL WORTH THE STOP>

I was there 9/22 to 9/27 in a C-340 and the service was wonderful, and it is a very clean updated airport. I was staying in Sandestin and 54j is only about 20-25 min further than DTS airport from Sandestin but with HUGE saving on fuel cost and parking PLUS the folks at Emerald coast are super nice and helpful and Vanessa will take great care of you. Elgin appch was also great even though their are no approaches they got me down to 1600 for a visual on a day with lost of T/S in the area so it was EZ to get in. Great stop I will be back again!

Thank goodness for Emerald Coast Aviation! They have the most competitive fuel price in the area. I was parked at Destin for 6 days hesitating to order fuel for my trip back to Los Angeles when I found 54J on AirNav.Com, so I flew over, and easy 10-minute flight and took 140 gallons in my C340A at $1.40 per gallon savings over Destin! Jonathan knew I was coming and kindly waited! What a service! Next trip to Destin I will park at 54J and let Jonathan take care of us!

Well worth the stop. Jonathan and Vanessa will take great care of you. Great fuel price, crew and rental cars, wireless internet, computer weather, comfortable newly refurbished FBO building and hangar available. 54J isn't as hard to get into as it looks being so close to Eglin. DTS is much more cumbersome geting in and out since there are only 2 ways in and out. IAP is reported on the way. We do business closer to Destin but come here for the service and price. Destin is an easy 0:40 min drive.

If you are heading to Destin area, this is the place to stop. Fuel prices terrific. Jonathan just purchased the FBO and bends over backwards to accommodate his customers. The FBO building is being constructed so amenities not in order (yet). But Emerald staff more than made this up. Jonathan is bright, customer focused, energetic and provided one of the best experiences I have ever had at an FBO. A truly top notch FBO. For Jet A junkies like me, I HIGHLY recommend that you consider Emerald Coast Aviation.

Great fuel price and outstanding service. Jonathan could not have been more helpful. Gave us a lift to Subway so we could eat before proceeding home. Bring him your business and tell your friends. Improvements coming. Help this man become get established.

Very friendly and helpful. Will keep it as my regular stop between Texas and Florida coast. Highly recommended.

Thank you Jonathan and Leah! After a faulty gear light indicated my nosewheel might not be down and locked, they both came out to the edge of the runway and had me do a fly-by. As it turned out the light finally came on and the gear was, in fact, down and locked. They had already alerted the mechanic (Todd from Seminole Aviation - great guy!) when the light came back on. They wanted to call for emergency services but I declined after verification of the gear being down. Then came the service. An offer to hook up the tug and tow the plane across the field to the mechanic's shop was also declined, but very generous just the same. When you look-up the definition of "Service", I have no doubt that a picture of these two fine folks will be alongside! Again, Thanks!
Response from Jonathan Dunn, Owner, Aero FX
Thank you for all the great positive comments that we have recieved at Defuniak Springs. We plan to add some great new improvements to serve you even better including renovation of the FBO building and a GPS approach, hopefully by the end of the year. Rebranding of the FBO commences June 1st with on site Enterprise rental cars at great rates, and free courtesy cars to visiting pilots. Also not forgetting the most competive priced fuel in the Florida Panhandle!

Jonathan at Aero FX offers great service and fuel at the listed price. The airport is in good shape with improvements planned in the near future - Defuniak Springs is great place to stop.

Very friendly staff will bend over backwards to help. Don't have to deal with Eglin or the poor service at the airport a little distance to the west.

Very friendly owner even let me use his phone to make long distance call. Cheap avgas too!!

This airport is very accommodating. The FBO cannot do enough for you. Its old Florida type building with big service for aviation. Very clean and a counter staff that will stay until your needs are met. We stayed after hours to do some test flying and they stayed until we were finished with not a complaint. One of the line guys went off to his personal equipment locker for some parts we needed. Apparently they have new ownership and they are gearing up the place. The FBO manager was out painting bollards, then the next hour, in his business suit meeting another C-402 for golf cart service. The cost factor non-issue, you just have to experience. Thumbs up for this airport. Bad things, the first 500 feet or so of runway 09 is about 20 feet below the threshold of the old runway. Apparently the new addition did not get the fill to bring it up. Its safe but remember you will be on solid ground when you flare!!

Keep up the good work Jonathan. When we arrived at 54J, Jonathan and his staff were more than willing to help us out. After promptly fueling the Cirrus, he overheard us talking about how were we going to get to the courthouse. Without missing a beat he offered to personally take us in his own vehicle. We arrived right on time thanks to him. As for his fuel prices..... WOW!!! What a deal!! Trust me when I say he has great prices. I own an FBO in Central GA. I have a feeling great things are going to happen for Jonathan and the Aero FX FBO.
