  Stopped on way to Oshkosh from Houston. Great airport for fuel stop (we were in and out in 45 mins and had lunch). Long runways with good approaches, clean FBO, friendly staff, popcorn and ice cream free. I elected to let FBO pump full service fuel while we had lunch in restaurant next door. (Open 11am-2pm) No issues using KARG for your tech stop and the fuel price is very fair.

  Stopped there for fuel (airplane and occupants). The Airplane restaurant was closed, but the airport Manager said, "Here, take my car", and handed me her keys! Hard to beat that kind of service! There is a military museum across the parking lot (free) but we didn't have time (this time). Great fuel prices too.

  ARG is a great place to put in your flight plan if your going anywhere close by. Fuel very reasonable and service is great.

  8/12/12: Freaking GREAT fuel stop! If you haven't been here before, just the 737 restaurant is worth a picture, as well as the 747's getting parted out. Interesting history, darn decent fuel prices, and enough runway to support summertime operations.
 
From Ron Gibbs on 27-Jul-2012

 
  This has to be one of the best airports to stop at in the US. GREAT service and low fuel price. Stopped going to and returning from OSH. Recommend highly!
 
From Kenneth Austin on 16-Jul-2012

 
  We stopped by on our way to Denver and also coming back home. The service was great and the staff very friendly and helpful. The facility is clean and fuel prices are very competitive. There were snacks and drinks for us. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed on our return home. We will definitely stop here on our trips out west.

  Stopped for fuel and lunch on May 29 and again on June 18. The ugly blue car, my favorite airport car, was not available but we used the van to get some lunch, I never seem to be able to stop when the restaurant is open. It is closed on Sunday and Monday I believe. This is always a good stop on a long cross-country trip and we are always treated well here.
 
From Dave Brighters on 26-Jun-2012

 
  Made two stops in a week. Best fuel price (self serve available) around. FBO provided courtesy car for ride to the nearby country club for lunch. Clean, spacious FBO with courteous staff. Easy in and out, and can contact Memphis Center on the ground for clearances.
 
From Steve Bower on 17-Jun-2012

 
  Stopped for fuel and food. Restaurant was closed but airport manager called over and they fixed us breakfast. Plane was fueled while we ate. Overall a great experience!
 
From Mike Ely on 10-Jun-2012

 
  Paid $4.66 per gallon today. Nice folks and good service.
 
From Mike Peters on 02-Jun-2012

 
  Outstanding! I stopped in for refueling on May 16 and to overnight on May 20th. Great service both days. I took "Big Blue" the courtesy car to the motel in Pocahontas for a pleasant overnight stay. Kudos’ to the guys on the line and the airport manager. I wish this field was in my local area, I'd go there any day. Good fuel price too.
 
From Greg West on 28-Apr-2012

 
  Passenger's rental car was waiting, great service, very fair Jet-A price, Donnie and Michelle really took care of us. Thanks for the hospitality, hope to be back soon.
 
From Bob Williams on 11-Feb-2012

 
  Stopped in again for fuel and lunch on 2/5/12. Donnie was right on top of things as usual. Drove the ugly car to lunch, plane was topped off when we got back and we were on our way. I just need to get my plans worked out so I can stop when the restaurant is open because I had some great meatloaf there in the past.
 
From D. Cooper on 22-May-2011

 
  Divert for WX on 13 May 2011 Personnel were extremely helpful. Called Parachute Inn who had just closed and arranged for them to reopen and serve a meal. I cannot say enough for Michelle, Bill and Donny. Restaurant and Museum alone are worth the trip. THANKS to all.
 
From James Dillard on 29-Nov-2010

 
  My wife and I stopped recently as a fuel stop and to eat at the renovated 737 on the field. We were on our way to Tulsa (KRVS) for the BPPP training. Very nice stop, food was great and priced fair and the aircraft was fueled while we ate. Great old airfield with a lot of history and long wide runways! Walnut Ridge will be my stop on any trips out this way.
