We recently made a day trip to EUF. Everything previously said is true - it's an example of how a hometown-style FBO should be run. I even asked to use an open t-hangar for the day and Eric obliged at no charge. Thanks again for the fine service and warm hospitality - it makes a memorable impression.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! WOW! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! This small town FBO has, by far, the BEST fuel prices and service-with-a-smile within 100nm. Eric, Ruda and their beloved Newfoundland-'Mootsie', absolutely go out of their way to make your stop the most enjoyable event you could ever imagine. Fresh cookies baked daily along with fresh fruit, ice cream, popcorn, coffee, snacks and soft drinks are available to refresh any traveler during their stopover, and along with the cleanest facilities I've ever seen. Larger and geographically closer FBO's should take note of how an FBO should truly be managed, as the courteous folks who run this one really DO want your repeat business! Don't forget to visit the beautiful Southern mansions in town and see why they call it "Historic Eufaula." Local fare at some of the quaint restaurants downtown is exquisite. Whether you're on the way to Sun-n-Fun, a FL vacation or on a return trip, plan on making Eufaula one of your stops. A Cessna 150 driver thanks you!

I've been to Eufaula a number of times but this past weekend really was above no other. After weather set in I was unable to get out. Eric said I could stay at the FBO for the night and leave in the morning. His hospitality is above all. He and his lovely wife will do anything possible to make your stay as comfortable and joyous as they can. My hats off to you both. Do yourself a favor and stop at Eufaula just to experience of a wonderful hometown FBO. The way all FBO's should be run.

I have flown into hundreds of FBO's over the years and this one is by far the nicest one hands down...Eric (the owner) meets you when you taxi in. He treats you like family.... He keeps the fuel prices surprisingly low...Since I found EUF I go out of my way to try and make it a refueling stop.

This is by far the best FBO I've visited! The hospitality is fantastic and the service second to none. The fuel prices are good and if you are planning this FBO is worth going out of your way. You'll enjoy the stop, Eric, and Mootsie, the largest dog I've ever seen!

The FBO @ KEUF is awesome. I fly about 300 hours per year and this is some of the best service I get (not mention the good price on fuel). Great airport/ran by people who appreciate you stopping no matter what you fly. Great stop on the way to Florida!!!

In two words, THE BEST! Stopped in Eufaula on the way from Ft. Lauderdale to Illinois. Eric and crew simply could not have been more accommodating and hospitable. We make this trip 3 or 4 times a year and will never miss Eufaula going both ways. Great job and good luck in a tough business.

I have never felt guilty about not buying gas until today. After landing, a voice on CTAF told me to park right in front of the FBO and to act like I owned the place. I didn't need any gas but the people at EUF bent over backwards anyway. Everyone was super nice including over at the restaurant. My son and I played chess and checkers on a board at the FBO. He hated to leave. I'll be back with tanks that need some fuel.

Stopped in today, 19 Nov, and this FBO is as good as it gets for both corporate and general aviation! Gas prices low, amenities superb, friendliness, wonderful dog greeter, and Eric and Ruda are the best. If you travel any where close to Eufaula this is a must stop! Have done this stop several times in both experimental and corporate and service is the same.

Flew in yesterday with my wife, said hello to Eric (who greeted us on the CTAF) and Mootsie, went next door for Sunday buffet lunch & toured the town. What a great stop! Thanks to everyone & will return again.

I got a call from a friend who said the FBO has a new owner and Eric has already got himself in trouble, She (Ruda, Eric's Wife) told him get off the couch and get to work. LOL Congrats to Eric and Ruda, the new owners. Great news for the rest of us.

Excellent FBO to stop at. Eric is very helpful, and the amenities are great. A definite thumbs up.

"Watch out for the exuberant dog, " we were warned. Having just left an airport with a too-lovable Lab, we were braced for an onslaught of canine appreciation. We gingerly opened the door, to see one enormous bear rug of a Newfie, who barely managed a twitch of her tail. It was 95 degrees out there, and she was exhausted merely contemplating summer in Southern Alabama. A fuel stop in Eufaula is a great idea. Super-nice people, excellent service, and fuel prices that haven't been seen in Mobile, Pensacola, and Gulf Shores in years. All that, and free soft drinks, ice cream, cookies, and the like, too. I'll stop again and fill 'er up, next time I'm on my way to the Gulf Coast.

Eric, I just wanted to make a post here and comment about the great service and professionalism we received when on our way to Clinton, IA. Also wanted to thank you for the use of the club car when we stopped there on the way back. It's FBO's like yours that make me want to return time after time. Thanks again.

Repeating earlier comments, I enjoyed excellent service from Eric. I was fueled (at SS price) while using their courtesy car, and was hangared awaiting my return (due to pending storm). Clean bathrooms. Would return here and while the closest restaurant (LA BBQ) was good, I'd go to River Grille (??) in town next time.

We made a quick fuel stop. Lineman was waiting as we pulled up to the fuel station and fueled the plane for us. Fresh fruit and cookies provided at no charge. Nice clean facilities with low fuel prices. All around a winning combination!

Visit 29 May 07. Flew in with my 5 year old daughter, and had a truly great experience. Eric took good care of us and the other people that was there were also very friendly. Mootsie was a sweetheart and my daughter had a great time. Worth the stop, fly in and see for yourself.

Awesome service. Lineman was waiting as we taxied up. Restaurant on the field was closed when we arrived, so they tossed us the keys to the airport car and went about 3 minutes down the road to some Fantastic BBQ that they recommended. They have wireless, but you need the code, which they will give you. Candies and cookies for my passengers. Great big pilot lounge with TV and movies Best Fuel price around

GREAT stop! Eric was great and the fuel price was excellent. The restaurant was closed (on Saturday??) so we took the crew car to a nice little place downtown called "Under the Boardwalk". Good burgers and shakes. Mootsie, the Newfoundland, is a huge dog and my family enjoyed loving on her almost as much as she enjoyed the attention. I'm sorry we didn't get the lady's name that also worked there, but she was equally friendly and we enjoyed our conversation with her. I will make it a point to stop here again.

We stopped on the way to FLA just because of the comments in this section. OUTSTANDING! Best service and friendliest people I've met at an FBO in a long time. They pumped my fuel ($2.95 on Sun.) while we went to the local restaurant. Even gave us drinks for the road at no charge! And that DOG. WOW. I wish they were all like this.

I try to stop here for fuel when I'm in the neighborhood. Folks are very nice and the place is clean. I've never seen a dog as big as that black one. I'd rather pay for plane fuel than try to keep that doggy fed.

Based on the reviews we read here we decided to give Eufaula a try. Wife and I were in on a Friday (1-26-07) to enjoy a great flying day and eat some lunch. We taxied up to the pump and as I got ready to get fuel Eric came walking up and said he would take care of fueling and my Maule. Very nice guy. We walked through the terminal and had lunch at the restaurant. Very good with excellent corn bread! Nice clean FBO and we enjoyed our short stay. Wife was disappointed we missed seeing the huge dog!!

Eufaula is a great little airport, I had aleady had lunch so just looked in the restaurant, the smell was enough to make me go back. Eric who runs the FBO is great. The fuel price on Sunday (1-21-07) was $2.95 Sunday special. I will be back on a regular basis for food and fuel.

Hi aall, What a great airport. Went in today and 100LL was $2.95, my kind of place. Great place to eat right there. They have Sunday specials, I Will be back when I need more fuel. I intend to make it my fueling place. Eric was there, to assist. Great place to fuel up and eat. Thanks.

Recently completed my 250nm requirement for my fixed wing instrument rating with a stop at Weedon Field. I emailed Eric a few days prior in reference to fuel price matching to my home base (as that is what the school would reimburse me for) and had a reply from Eric in less than an hour. Eric said they would price match my home field and also let me know their fuel price on Sundays is great! My instructor and I didn't get a chance to meet Eric in person, as he was assisting a plane owner in getting his airplane started. I cannot remember the guy’s name that serviced our plane, but he was very friendly and extremely helpful. Didn't get to meet the dog, but hope to in the future. Thanks for the great service!

What a great place to stop! As the halfway point for our trip to Disney World, EUF attracted me because of its low fuel price. I will be back because of the great service and the BEST southern cooking at the next-door restaurant I've every had away from home. Rushton Air is top notch!

Eric and his lovely wife are very accommodating folks at a very clean FBO. Met the big dog and was told the following tale: The dog is large and black in color like an Angus cow with the same white chest marking. Eric's wife told us that the dog was barking at the Angus cows at their house. The cows lined up along the fence with their heads twisted to one side to see the strange Angus calf on the wrong side of the fence and with a severe canine accent. Eufaula is a great little town on the lake and the airport is easy to use. We are glad to have met Eric and his wife and plan to see them again.

WOW...! What a great place with friendly folks and good fuel prices. Eric knows how to run an FBO. I only wish it were mine.:-( Call ahead on Sundays and check out the fuel discounts. All the comments below are true. Enjoy country food and don't miss the old houses downtown.

The wife and I flew down yesterday for a quick lunch based on the airport talk at my home airport. A quick call to make sure that the restaurant was open Sunday and we were off. After landing I was greeted by Eric who had me park at the pumps so he could refill the plane while we ate ($2.95 every Sunday, for now at least!). He even recognized my voice from the call earlier! A GREAT lunch (I agree with the poster below) and then some relaxation on the FBO couch while we marveled at the HUGE FBO dog (I think it is a bear in disguise) and we were off. A friendly, feel-at-home place with great service, great prices, and some yummy food next door.

Stopped into KEUF for Sunday Brunch at the Airport Restaurant. I couldn't believe the spread they offer: Southern Fried Chicken Roast Beef Smothered Gravy Chicken Dressing with giblet gravy Mashed potatoes Turnip Greens Black-Eyed Peas Creamed Corn Green Beans Sweet Potato Soufflé Squash & Onions Cornbread & Rolls Peach Cobbler Strawberry Shortcake Assorted pie & cake slices Salad Bar Deviled Eggs Pear Salad Tea (sweet or un) $8.00, tax included!!! Now, if they'd just offer some recliners for the 'after-lunch' nap!!

Stopped in for a fuel stop after a Thanksgiving trip. The manager and his wife are great. They went out of their way to be friendly, topped us off, pulled the courtesy car up to the plane and gave directions and suggestions for local restaurants. Another pleasant surprise that you don't see often is an FBO manager that responds to your initial call on the CTAF with airport information. Highly recommend this stop.

I really enjoyed my stop at EUF. The FBO has everything a pilot needs and the facility is quite nice. Fuel is very inexpensive and will stop by next time I fly over Eufaula.

Excellent customer service, clean facilities, friendly staff of Eric, his lovely, outgoing bride and lots of wet, sloppy kisses from Mootsie, the Newfoundland!! Low gas prices, self serve pumps, but Eric will pump it for you. Rushton Air definitely found a great manager when they found Eric (and his friendly staff) I'll, definitely, be back!!

A wonderful FBO, with even better people. My eight-year-old son and I were out enjoying a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and after flying up the lake, made a stop at Eufaula. We were greeted by Eric (the FBO mgr), his wife, and their gorgeous Newfoundland who made us feel at home right away. Their facility is modern, clean, and comfortable. On top of that, their Sunday special avgas price was $1.70/gal cheaper than my home FBO at KABY. We will definitely be back. You will not be disappointed at KEUF!

Traveling from KJES to KMBO, I opted to stop for a brief respite at KEUF. My all-weather PA32R/300 opted not to start after brief ground exposure, and Eric (the EUF boss) went way over the top to arrange all he could to make my bird fly. He provided battery charging, advice, inspection, more advice, and constant personal attention for more than 2 hours, and valuable information about our engine woes (with an accurate diagnosis). I cannot describe all he personally provided for me in my predicament lest he be engulfed by homeless pilots looking for handouts; such was his attitude, and help. Rushton Air is fortunate to have Eric and his family (including a very large Newfie) in Eufaula. The FBO is immaculate, with a wonderful pilot center, Dish network, very good restaurant immediately next door to the FBO, but most importantly, it has Eric. The fuel prices are very competitive, and guaranteed to boot. Make a stopover in KEUF, and you will appreciate your entire experience.

Friendly people, great attitude, cheap fuel, easy access (and one HUGE airport dog). Combine all of that and you must be at Eufaula, Alabama. Although self serve fuel, they did pump it for me. Attitude is deserving of my future business. Overall Grade: A+

Stopped while flying from Hickory, NC to DeFuniak Springs, FL. Great service. Eric was right on top of things, fueled the plane quickly, a very pleasant guy. The FBO common area recently had four aviation murals painted on the wall and they were beautiful, ...Worth a trip there just to see them. The facility had a neat, clean friendly atmosphere. The nice lady at the FBO (sorry I don't remember her name) was helpful and very pleasant. I fly over EUF frequently in a bigger plane, but now I will stop if I can make it feasible. Definitely a GREAT small airport FBO.

The pair of nesting Ospreys are a must see on the airport. There is a nesting platform just off from the FBO. Super friendly people. There is a country kitchen right next to the FBO. Great Southern food.

Exceptionally great service!!! Eric was great. He had helped me out with a room at the Comfort Suites ($66/night) with a King size bed. Very sweet. Also got a rental car (comes from a local car dealer) '99 Suburban for $35. He assisted with PAX baggage and even loaded my bags in my rental as I finished securing the aircraft for the night. Some of the greatest service I have ever had!! Thanks again, Eric!! P.S. If you like big dogs, you will love the Newfoundland that they have!!
