What a great aviation surprise! We had 165 knot headwinds from NY to Florida and needed a place to get fuel along the way. What great service, a courtesy car and a great lunch buffet for $6.95 (all you can eat). This was the real thing, southern hospitality!

I had posted strong recommendations for this facility several years ago. I need to update. The Taylors are the epitome of southern hospitality and graciousness. I would stop there, even if their fuel prices were not among the lowest for the trip down to Florida from our NJ home. My wife and I [and Junior, our Min-Pin], look forward to our stop there, and we make the trip several times a year. Truly wonderful people, and if you stop during "Sun'N'Fun", they always have complimentary excellent hamburgers, hot dogs, and, and the trimmings on the grill! Oscar is an excellent cook. [Good luck with your upcoming surgery Oscar!]

Planned a fuel stop on flight north, based on pilot friend's recommendation, and was very impressed with service from Taylor Aviation. Mr. Taylor fueled our Seneca with the BEST-priced fuel on the east coast. Also, self-serve canteen was appreciated. We will be back!

Flew into Elizabethtown for a fuel stop and overnight enroute to Orlando from Boston. Oscar and his son Mitch were terrific. They provided the crew car to get to the hotel for the night, gave me restaurant recommendations, and could not have been more pleasant to deal with. I left the next morning with tanks full of $3.77 avgas and firm commitment to using this airport as a fuel stop as much as possible.

Always a pleasure to stop in to KEYF. After a routine fill up for my Cherokee, we were ready to do a short field takeoff, when the flap spring snapped. Well, after a helping hand from Oscar, and my new friend Bill, of Blackhawk Aviation, 16W was homeward bound. Thanks again for your friendly assistance. We'll be back soon. Mike Kohut--KSOP

You will NOT be disappointed stopping into this professional FBO with southern style hospitality. We have been stopping here for years for fuel (and a bathroom break) to and from our way to southern FL. The facilities are top notch, modern and clean. Computer weather is available along with a conference room if needed. Fuel prices are always one of the lowest you'll find. Easy access to the pumps (and well lighted at night). You will be served during hours and the 24/7 self-serve functions perfectly. You can't beat good fuel prices along with a personal and professional touch.

Visited Taylor Aviation again on 5/26/2008 and as always Oscar & Mitch were outstanding. You just can't beat the service and hospitality of this FBO!

Stopped by Friday and Sunday on way to and from the beach. Service and facilities exceeded my expectations, and my expectations were high after reading all these glowing reviews. If you're in need of being treated like a person and not an N-number, be sure to stop here.

It has been two years since my last comment for EYF, so I want to restate my unqualified recommendation of this fuel stop. Service, price and friendliness that can't be beat.

Stopped in returning from Sun n' Fun. As I approached, I called in for airport advisories and requested refueling a hot dog and hamburger. They had me refueled with the food ready for a quick turn. Great people, good prices, good facility, quick service, and a great burger. Thanks.

It has all been said. A great stop if it is on the way... And even if it isn't. Good people, great fuel prices and they have free Whoppers candy at the front desk. What more could you ask for?

Outstanding support, excellent facilities, top-notch personnel. Oscar (owner) and Mitch (General Manager) Taylor responded with calm professionalism and innovative flexibility when our when our military aircrew encountered an unexpected situation and needed special assistance. They went above and beyond all reasonable expectations, working well into the night, safely and smartly responding to challenges, and providing gracious hospitality to our Marines. We are very appreciative of and were impressed by their capabilities and services.

My husband and I stopped in Elizabethtown on the way to New England this fall, and on the way back. We were treated like royalty-Oscar met us at the fuel pump, helped with the fueling, provided a courtesy car, and sent us to a great restaurant for lunch!! Fuel prices were low-can't be beat!! We will be back again.

Southern hospitality at its finest. Owner Oscar Taylor (retired Delta) makes you welcome from the first moment (tying down the airplane before you even get out) to the last (bringing out cold water and an apple for the trip). He made available an excellent courtesy car, recommended good restaurants, and got a room at the motel. Prices as advertised and very reasonable. I recommend without qualification.

This is an awesome fuel stop friendly service, clean/modern facilities, courtesy car, and cheap gas. They also have good prices on oil and filters -- stock up on your way home and save shipping. The Front Porch restaurant was excellent. Thanks for the hospitality!

In April, I was in a flight of 2 CH-46s that had to make a precautionary landing at this airfield due to weather. I was the pilot in command of the second aircraft, and like the other Marines in our flight, ready to get home from the ferry flight that was already behind schedule. When we couldn't push the weather any farther, we turned back to the closest airstrip, which was Elizabethtown. It was the best decision we probably made the whole trip. This FBO was the most helpful and accommodating of any I have seen. It is the type of town where all the good things in America are alive and well. It is the type of airport where you will want to sit and talk to whoever happens by. The facilities are comfortable and the staff eminently courteous, professional, and hospitable. It was a rejuvenating experience that salvaged the rest of our trip, and though we didn't expect such a warm display of Southern hospitality, these nine Marines are glad we stopped. --

Great airport to head into. I highly recommend grabbing a courtesy car and heading to Melvin's in town. Carolina-style burgers and hot dogs for super cheap make the trip well worth it. Staff at the FBO is very friendly and helpful.

Stopped through April 20th 2007 along with a lot of other airplanes returning from Sun-n-Fun. Hamburger and Hotdog waiting on the grill. One of the most hospitable stops I have ever experienced. Recommended that you stop and visit these folks.

Heading north from Sun 'n Fun got low on fuel and stopped in. After landing, they called me on Unicom and asked if I wanted a hamburger and hot dog added to the grill. Free food plus 100LL at $3.48 for cash. Great facility and hospitality.

I fly up to KMEB from Daytona Beach every time I can. Usually make it non-stop to MEB in the Cessna. But I'll grab 5 gallons from KMEB for security and head to EYF. The service/prices cannot be matched. I came late one night and they had turned off the pumps because of a storm. By the time I was out of my plane the FBO clerk had heard me landing on the radio from his house and had driven to the airport to cut the pump on for me. NOW THAT IS SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY AT ITS BEST.

I stopped in on the way from PA to FL for fuel. The service and prices were great. Some lunch and great conversation with local pilots turned this fuel stop into a fun intermission to a long trip. Great place to stop. Thanks Mitch! Much better! We will return; once again it was a great experience.

I use this airport as my fuel stop between NY and Florida with my family. Service from Mitch is outstanding, fuel is well priced and good restaurants are a short drive away in the crew car. Say hi to Mitch for me from N95GF.
