From Alex Bruce on 02-Feb-2012

 
  Flew into Destin in my 1965 172 and you would have thought I landed in a King Air 300. I was met at the plane by the line guys with a smile, wonderful courteous service and was treated like I owned the place. The girls in the office area were very friendly and helpful. They let us use the crew car for a few hours to grab a bite to eat and run around Destin for a bit. They helped with departure instructions, as I was new to the airport. They had a beautiful facility along with a place to relax and check the weather information. I will defiantly use Miracle Strip Aviation when I ever I find my way to Destin.
 
From Fulton Shehan on 28-Jan-2012

 
  Stopped in on a night cross-country. The line guys and the girls at the counter were cheerful, helpful, and friendly. I called them on Unicom while taxiing in to request a car to go to town for dinner and was met at the plane with a car ready to go. The FBO was clean and well appointed. Great experience.
 
From Erin Patrick Pierce on 11-Jan-2012

 
  You guys rock! Thank you for always treating me like royalty-- whether I buy gas or not! I always get the red carpet treatment at Miracle Strip.
 
From Russell Harcourt on 12-Oct-2011

 
  Stopped in for a couple of days in an old rent-a-Cherokee and was treated perfectly! The car was waiting and running when we taxied up. Friendly staff helped us with our luggage. The airplane was fueled and pulled up close to the building when we arrived at the airport to head home at the end of the trip. Concerning the car we rented through the FBO, I ended up taking the keys for it home with me in my pocket. Definitely my fault, but I kind of wish they would have asked me for them when we walked out, as you have a lot of other things on your mind as you are preparing for a flight. I had to spend $50 to UPS overnight them back to Destin from Atlanta. They definitely set it right in my book by working it out with Hertz to where I didn't have to pay any extra fees for the rental. Thanks so much to them for working with me to correct my mistake on that! I will definitely be back here and I highly recommend them! Destin is beautiful, by the way.
 
From Pierre Melcher on 16-Aug-2011

 
  Quick turn in a King Air 200. We called in our order in advance and were being fueled right after shut down. Very nice counter staff and very nice line crew.
 
From Howard Benz on 08-Aug-2011

 
  Landed and fueled several times in the last 3 months. Fantastic service. Thank you.
 
From Chuck Moore on 06-Jul-2011

 
  I flew to Destin in my RV-7 for the 4th of July weekend. You would have thought I piloted a G5 based on the way the staff treated me and cared for my airplane. The staff was very friendly, courteous and helpful.
 
From Bob Koedam, (BE-35 # N1AW) on 27-Jun-2011

 
  Another great experience at Miracle Strip Aviation!! We arrived a day early to beat weather, and even though we did not call ahead, Miracle Strip pulled the rental car out to the plane with the A/C running as we were climbing out!! The desk girl went the extra mile to find us a hotel for the first night - calling about 20 before finding success - THANK YOU!! The line crews were super-friendly - and fueled up the plane and had it pulled to the building for our departure. They even provided a ride to avoid the 75 yard walk. One of the very best FBOs around - We will be back to Miracle Strip!!! Thanks again -
 
From Larkin Braxton on 22-Jun-2011

 
  Flew into DTS last week, used Miracle Strip on a recommendation from a friend. They treated our little Sundowner very nicely, helped unload all our bags and were very courteous at the front desk. I had a minor maintenance issue, they had the plane towed to the maintenance shop and the guys got the issue worked out in the next day. We were there for vacation so they had plenty of time. Maintenance rates were reasonable, fuel cost was reasonable for the area. The plane was pulled to the ramp for our departure and we were in and out in less than thirty seconds as they had already run the card on fuel and they were waiting to help reload bags. Well run FBO would recommend and will use again. Thanks guys!!
 
From Dave Buono on 10-Jun-2011

 
  Stopped in for a night on the way south in our RV-7A, and Miracle Strip exactly what an FBO should be. No complaints at all. They gave us a free ride to our hotel close to the airport, and on the way John gave us a quick tour of the surrounding area. I would definitely use them again!
 
From Vince Boothe on 24-Apr-2011

 
  Today, Easter Sunday was my first trip to Destin Fort Walton Airport and Miracle Strip Aviation. It will be my first of many. Friendly, helpful staff. I did not need fuel, but will make sure I do on my next trip. Free courtesy car for trip to beach for lunch. No FEES. Great experience. I will be back. SOON. Thanks.
 
From Scott Dorfman on 31-Mar-2011

 
  Recently tried Miracle Strip again and had a great experience. Arrived in PC12 for the day for business and they had a crew car waiting for me at the plane, courteous and quick all across the board. Bought 200 gallons of JETA as a reward for great service. Will be back.
 
From Erin Patrick Pierce on 21-Dec-2010

 
  I have been going to Miracle Strip for years, and the staff has always been very helpful. This post is long overdue. These folks handle my Mooney with the same respect as my Eclipse Jet, and their maintenance staff is top notch. Prices are fair, and the facility is very nice. Thank you, Miracle Strip!
 
From Douglas Bush on 08-Nov-2010

 
  Visited 31Oct2010 for a few days in the Cessna 210. Tie-down fee was $8/day, 1st day waived with fuel purchase. I had reserved a Hertz rental car, and they brought it out to the plane. Thanks!
 
From Jeff Weller on 02-Oct-2010

 
  The landing fee was waived with a fuel purchase. The airplane hung out on the ramp for a solid 7 hrs. They picked us up at the Back Porch (walked to the beach from the FBO) and even stopped at Subway for us on the way back. Neyra was awesome! We were treated well for a piston single. Thanks.
 
From S Basha on 12-Jul-2010

 
  Excellent place very nice people car on the ramp ready to go with the a/c running 1st class service!
 
From William and Yolanda Mcelroy on 10-May-2010

 
  The service is exemplary, and the maintenance department is first class. Bonanza N8285M will be back often!
 
From Ken Green on 14-Mar-2010

 
  I have always stayed here and found the FBO to be very courteous. Fuel comments are true, I buy gas elsewhere routinely.
 
From Wesley W. Johnson on 12-Mar-2010

 
  Stopped in Thursday night (1045 PM), March 11th, unannounced (Diverted from KMKY because of weather). Two of the staff met us at the plane and a third drove a rental car onto the ramp. Everyone very friendly and professional. Had us on the way to a room at Sandestin within minutes. Great experience. Service second to none. A job well done!
 
From Scott Dorfman on 24-Feb-2010

 
  Had used Miracle Stip in past for PC12 but they were always too expensive. Recently wanted to try Miracle Strip but when I call to see about rental car, front desk said I'd have to contact Avis or Hertz directly that they would not coordinate. Miracle still thinks they don't have competition.
 
From Casey Dufur on 19-Oct-2009

 
  Went to this FBO on October 17, 2009.We just came in for a day trip. Showed up and rental car that we had reserved was not there and they couldn't find our reservations. So they called Enterprise to get us a car and sure enough they were out of cars. So the FBO gave us the crew car for the day. So it actually turned out better since we didn't have to pay 50 or 60 dollars. There service was top notch. We had enough gas so we opted not to buy any. They didn't charge us a ramp fee or anything. I was very surprised. So I give an A+++ for this FBO. It reminded me of the good ol' days.
 
From Alan Greisz on 04-Sep-2009

 
  Stayed at DTS for a month while conducting work training in the area. Staff assisted in unloading and obtaining rental car. The Staff remained friendly, accommodating, and proactive for the duration of my stay.
 
From David Siciliano on 02-Aug-2009

 
  We were highly pleased with the service at Miracle. We arrived Saturday July 25th in the afternoon. A lineman met us with our rental car and helped us unload the plane and load the rental car. We asked that the inboard tanks be fueled midweek when there was a fuel discount. When we returned the following Saturday to depart, the plane was properly fueled, properly charged and turning in the rental car was easy as a lineman took it at the terminal. Wonderful experience. Everyone was polite and efficient. We will use Miracle again when visiting Destin.
 
From Tommy Shelton on 30-Jul-2009

 
  Unable to find a rental car in Destin 7/28/09. Miracle Strip Aviation had John Cope, a kind employee to drive me to Mobile, Al. Was a phenomenal act of kindness and customer service. Thank you Neyra and crew!!!
 
From Dan Jarrett on 21-Apr-2009

 
  I have read numerous accounts of dissatisfied customers including being charged for "cookies" and being "gouged" for fuel at this FBO. In fact I considered landing elsewhere to avoid the "pirate-like" tactics that I feared would greet me at KDTS. Imagine my surprise when I arrived only to discover a courteous staff that anticipated my accommodations and could not have been more cooperative. The rental car was waiting (on the ramp, not two blocks down in slot 54 in the Hertz lot); the line staff and desk personnel were gracious and anxious to serve. Fuel prices were appropriate for the area about.. In my opinion Don't know what all the hubbub is about.... Miracle Strip folks were nothing but professional to me. Maybe it's because I said Thank You. Beech 58 Baron
