Customer service is our number one priority. We are proud of the excellent service and great reputation we have earned over the past three decades in air charter, maintenance and service. Our history in aviation began with Lyddon Flying Service, originally found in La Junta, Colorado by Bill Lyddon Sr., in 1965. Flight training was the main objective, but an air charter business also developed. Then in 1975, Bill, along with his sons Steve and Bill Jr., purchased the FBO in Lamar, Colorado and emphasis was changed from flight training to charter service and business began to grow. In October of 1990, Steve and Bill Jr., purchased the FBO in Liberal, Kansas and Bill Sr. remained in Lamar. The Liberal operation became Lyddon Aero Center, and now involves 6 pilots and 7 aircraft.

Very friendly place. Jennifer arranged hotel accommodations within minutes of our arrival without prior notice. Accommodations at the Liberal Inn were great and food at hotel was good. Nice stop and nice place. Thanks!

This is a great place to stop. The folks at Lyddon Air Center were friendly and efficient. Very clean with good flight planning facilities. Fuel price for AOPA members was $5.51 per gallon, which included approximately $.40 per gallon in taxes and fees. There is also a reduced price for Angel Flights. Courtesy cars are available with fuel purchase. The airport is conducive to quick turns with minimal congestion in the air and on the ground. I will make this a planned stop in the future.

Great group of people here! Facility is very functional and efficient. Line staff was right there parking me up front and quick with the fuel truck. CSRs very friendly and helpful providing directions and a crew car. Great prices on 100L and Jet-A (especially if you use your Colt card for those Jet-A purchases). Fantastic stop overall!!

This is a great en route stop. Always have fresh brewed Ice Tea, quick gas, and a comfortable, clean and well-equipped facility. Yesterday while refueling in Liberal, we found a dead magneto. The mechanic there helped us quickly locate a bad Magneto P-lead and got us on our way in 15 minutes. Lots of big runways, Ice Tea and friendly people. What else could you want?

Visited on a very windy day in a Bonanza. The Lyddon folks were nice and the facility is very well kept. The air museum was cool. Loaner car w/fuel purchase. Would recommend.

I was tired after an all day flight and was promptly greeted by a man in a golf cart to follow to my tie down. He fueled my Tripacer immediately and tied it down for me while I got my bags. They have an arrangement with the Liberal hotel for about 50 bucks a night with free shuttle pick up and drop off. The Liberal hotel has a good menu, and I even had them make me a club sandwich to take the following day. The pilot lounge is clean, have fresh, new leather furniture and tables and Internet to do chart work. A hot pot of coffee was ready the next morning for that perk before the flight. Pricey fuel, but a very nice stay.

Excellent stop. Always stop when going x/c. Friendly & professional staff in a very nice and clean facility. Family atmosphere and help around every corner. The guy that complained about the atmosphere must not be happy with his life. Family FBO's that are this good are what ensures the future of aviation.

I left comment on July 18, 2007. Returned on August 16, 2007. While the facilities are very nice and I stand by my previous comments, the lobby becomes somewhat of a "family room" with the extended family of the ownership. Often small children are running around, crying and being chased by their parents. These people are very friendly, but the FBO is not very quite or professional. So if you are planning on a quite, relaxing break between flights, bring a pair of earplugs and a love for small children and dogs. No hard feelings here, I have two kids of my own. But while many FBO's are working to attract a corporate customer, this FBO does business with a "family-run" style. Nice facilities, nice people, but not very quite or relaxing.

Great FBO! We fly a Citation II from La Crosse, WI and the facilities are definitely an oasis on the high plains! Have flown in several times and have always been parked and treated with great service. The aviation museum is also a great attraction... It's even on the field. Usually a couple of dogs are in the FBO, which makes the place have character! Restrooms and lounge area are very clean and the flight planning room is WSI enabled! Thanks Lyddon!

5/20/07. My fuel stop from KHND to KMQJ. Clean facilities with many amenities. Quick fuel service. Great variety at the vending machines. Fuel was a bit high, but it is a convenient stop. The runways are under repairs and the approaches may be inoperable, make sure you get the NOTAM's before flying in under IMC. Be careful VFR since there is back taxi on the open runway.

Great place to stop. We were there on May 1, 2007, great service, friendly staff. We have been there before and went out of our way to stop there on our way east. We will be stopping there next month on our trip back.

Convenient and frequent stop for me. Have always been treated well whether quick turn or overnight. Plan for LBL when cross-county.

Very friendly folks... fresh iced tea and lemonade available. They give a fuel discount for Angel Flight missions. Beware of runway closure...17-35 and the ILS are down for a year and the remaining runway will be shortened shortly.

Stopped in for fuel and food on the way to Oshkosh. They let us use the courtesy car to go to King's BBQ. This was a great stop with a very nice FBO. Super nice friendly staff. We will be back.

Stopped to see the air museum. Weather closed in and it was late afternoon so I decided to spend the night. They arranged a room for me at the Liberal Inn (great motel with high speed internet). A shuttle van picked me up and delivered me back to the airport by 6AM. Plane was hangared as the front had hail and high winds. Great experience. Would stop there again. Fuel costs are reasonable and the service is excellent. They do clean the windshields.

Nice place, friendly people. Line guy directed me to a tie-down and the girl answered my unicom calls on the way in. Pictures here on AirNav of the facilty represent it correctly. Clean, neat and well done. Courtesy car with a fill up. Nice place to stop.

Went to Liberal to visit air museum. Lyddon Aero Center provided great service, allowing us to use a car to get lunch and then visit the museum. They had a computer with aviation flight planning, but I don't know if this computer could have accessed the internet so that I could check the aviation planning sites I am used to.
