I really like this little airport and find myself in Wickenburg on a more regular basis these days. One thing I would like to know, because I haven't figured it out---how does one use the restrooms?? When we travel and land, we generally need a bathroom break. In this case it was our final destination, but cross-country travelers and final destinations need fuel and a bathroom, otherwise traffic numbers and fuel sales will suffer. So, hopefully, it's just that I didn't read carefully enough a sign posted somewhere. They charge $7/night for a single so......

Very nice little airport and the office for the FBO is clean and nice, albeit it small. Gas price reasonable and plenty of parking. Had lunch at Ike's Cook Shack next to McDonald's. What a great place to eat. We called from the airport and the owner had our order waiting when we sat down. It's nice touches like this that make these small town airports worth a stop. Keep your ears peeled for student training traffic that can't be understood because of poor English.

The airport is used extensively by the Lufthansa, Pan Am & Westwind training operations down in the valley for non-towered airport experience. At times, you will be 4 or 5 deep in the pattern to get on the ground & the foreign dialects can be confusing on the radio. Once on the ground, you can get the courtesy car after filling out the form and calling the local police. The FBO is never open & there is nothing on the airport in the way of food, supplies, etc. Could be a really neat place, but basically abandoned at this time.Response from Steve Mckay, Community Services Director, Town of Wickenburg
The entire airport is run by one person, who in addition to the airport has duties that require him to work at Town Hall at various hours during the day. The intent is to keep the FBO open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday thru Friday, with the bathrooms, terminal, computer & fueling available during those hours. After hours & weekend callout available. For service any time during the week call 928-232-9588, service is never more than 5 min away.

The loaner car at Wickenburg is available at all times now. A very courteous volunteer at the FBO explained the procedure, which is to fill out the information sheet, then call the Wickenburg Police on the phone on the front of the building. The Police will give you the code for the lockbox that contains the car keys. Very handy. Fuel prices are better than any in the Phoenix area.

Wickenburg is now an unattended airport, at least on weekends. On the up side there is a courtesy car available Friday afternoon until Monday morning (with 10 mile/2 hour restrictions.) On the down side if you're staying overnight they want a $7.50 (single) tiedown fee. If you dare to arrive in a turbine powered plane its $100 right off the top, forgiven if you buy $100 in fuel. Someone at E25 must have read "How to Drive Away Business in 10 Easy Lessons."
