Flew in early July, great experience here! Diane was VERY helpful, even though we arrived right at close (call ahead first during July 4th week)! Taxiway was bumpy, but runway was decent. The lowest priced fuel and overnight fees by far. The local Enterprise will deliver a car to you in 5 minutes, and they are very helpful & polite. Fantastic experience here, and will definitely return. Watch out for deer on the runway/taxiways, and for the shifting winds below the tree line.

I flew my daughter and her friend to Stow on July 17, 2012. All the positive comments are absolutely correct. I was met before I got out of the plane by Diane who helped me with the self serve fuel and offered me cold water on a brutally hot day. She showed me the new flight school and did everything she could to make me feel welcome. Runway and taxiway a little bit bumpy and climb out from 21 over the trees is something to be careful about on a hot day. I grew up on short fields though so I'm used to it. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed on a Tuesday, but I will definitely be back again when it's open. This place is a gem and what general aviation is all about. This is my first time making a comment on AirNav, but this place deserved it.

I have been flying in and out of Stow for at least 40 years and know Don McPherson well. I would recommend Stow to any pilot for fuel or food.

I specifically called two hours prior to arrival. I arrived at 4:10 pm and in spite of being told people would be there till 4:30, the place was closed for fuel. A pickup truck was seen pulling away from the FBO as we walked towards it; I don't know if it was one of the employees or not. A local pilot was there he had just landed his Cessna and was tying it down. I asked if we could pay him the published retail price for use of his club PIN so we could get some 100LL. I explained to him we were told someone would be there till 4:30 pm. He said absolutely not. Such camaraderie; he had no idea how much fuel we had. He would not have cared if we would have had to stay the night. He said it was airport policy not to help out other pilots for fuel. This is the unfriendliest, most unreliable setup I have ever encountered in 10 years. Neither I nor any of the pilots I fly with will EVER stop at this airport. The pilots and people there give GA a bad name. Stay away from this most unfriendly place.Response from Jonathan, Employee, Stow Aviation Services
I am the employee that offered to hold the office open for you after our normal closing hours. My boss always asks us to stay open longer if we have customers. Unfortunately, I forgot to follow through with your request, it was an honest mistake. I apologize for the inconvenience it caused you. Check our website for holiday exceptions to our normal 9-4 / 7 day schedule. I hope that you will give us another chance. Thank you.

Great service. Good fuel prices. Nice alternative when visiting Boston area. I stop here 3 or 4 times a year. The runway is a little rough but they say they working on a resurfacing plan. I will give it 5 stars when the runway is repaved.

We have been to Minute Man numerous times and always look forward to going back. The service is superb (thank you Don and Danita) and the fuel prices are the best in the area. The food in Nancy's Airfield Restaurant is fantastic daytimes, and on Friday and Saturday nights Nancy and Don transform it in to a casual gourmet eatery. Rental cars are available from Enterprise and you can drop the car back at the airport when done. All in all, it's an EXCELLENT experience.

Flew in for breakfast with Northeast Pilots Group. A very good fuel price, along with our large group, had the FBO very busy fueling and directing planes. The crew did a great job keeping up and getting it all done. Thanks!
