La Junta, the airport, staff, and facilities are all great! I like it so much, I fly from COS just to get fuel. The courtesy car and trip to town for breakfast is a must do. I was there on Wed, 7 Oct, definitely mind the construction on 8/26 as Pete said. Some SA, 30 has a slightly displaced threshold and small FOD at the beginning.

BEWARE... Check NOTAMs RWY 08-26 is closed. At night, the lights come on as normal, but there are no lit Xs. The Xs that are there are over the numbers and are difficult to distinguish. The automated AWOS doesn't say anything about it. If someone were to land on the perfectly good RWY 8-26, they could taxi off into a 2 ft. Hole that is completely unmarked from the runway side. This is a very stupid situation. The FAA and its contractors need to remedy this. Use RWY 12-30. La Junta staff is fantastic, particularly John, the night attendant. I will certainly be back there for the cheap fuel and nice people!

Flew into La Junta today for their annual Fun Day and air show. Nice folks (as always) with a nice airport that is eager for your visit. Had a BIG problem after FBO business hours when the self-serve wouldn't dispense ANY fuel. I made a phone call to the number shown for after-hours, and the airport manager arrived (with his family) in about ten minutes to fix the fuel system. Seems that one of the employees had forgotten to turn on the valve in the pipeline that feeds the pump. Whooops! Here's the kicker! Two other pilots had trouble earlier in the afternoon (as evidenced by their receipts in the dispenser chute) and apparently neither of them alerted the airport staff. ARGH!! So, many kudos to the airport staff and manager for their prompt resolution to the problem. As always, La Junta is a wonderful destination.

We had a good experience. We were warned that the self-serve pump could loose its prime, but we had no problems with the pump, and otherwise the FBO was open and active on Sunday when we came through. It was a nice stop. Thanks!

We stopped for fuel on August 1st. Don was awesome. He lent us the courtesy car to go into town for breakfast. Friendly people, great fuel prices and a good meal. It doesn't get any better than this!

Easy in and out. Runway 8/26 in great condition. The taxiways are rundown, with patchy spots throughout and quite a bit of loose gravel. It's no problem to get around but don't hurry. Thanks for the superb fuel price!!

Just made a quick fuel stop but everything was as advertised. Self-serve station was easy to get to and well equipped and prices were best around. Pay attention to altimeter in the pattern! The surrounding plain around the airport is so featureless I got mesmerized a bit without having trees and things to gauge depth perception and found myself at 500' AGL on downwind to RWY 8. Good learning experience!

We've been here several times over the last four years. Always a friendly (and GENUINE) smile, good or even superb fuel prices, and an overall excellent visit. Borrowed one of the crew cars to breakfast at Copper Kitchen. The place was packed as usual, with the locals and the visitors mingling over breakfast. Wonderful place to visit!

What a great stop! Don was so helpful when self-serve fuel pump lost its prime. Offered us the blue Chevy courtesy car for overnight. Midtown Motor Hotel is very clean and comfortable, minimalist but great value for the price. Copper Kitchen is a great breakfast cafe, opens 6 AM. La Junta is a town that hasn't (yet) been sucked dry by a mall; it has many interesting shops and coffee places and restaurants. Will definitely stop there again.

Friendly staff stays on site. Has a pilot RON bed for a few bucks looks clean. I stayed at the Midtown hotel $44, were more than willing to pick me up, but I used the airport car. I am a ferry pilot and will definitely use again.

Flew in for the "Planes & Thangs" Sept 20. What a great day in a great little town. Borrowed one of the crew cars to get lunch and stop at Van Hooks for melons. Hadn't flown to LHX in a few years but will be back. Perfect half-day trip, including brunch at the golf course.

Called ahead making sure they had fuel and a crew car. (2) Had a good stop here very helpful folks. Good fuel prices for the high prices that we are living with. Copper Kitchen is a must Les Anderson (owner) a guy you'll not forget. Great breakfast.

I also had trouble with the 100 LL pump. The attendant filled my plane and gave me the self-serve price without me even asking for it. They loaned us a crew car and we had a great stay in town. It's a great fuel stop and RON. I'd stop here any time.

On 6/13/08, the self sevice pump was only working intermittently.

Stopped on May 19th. Not only was self-serve pump inop but it also voided 2 of my credit cards attempting to re do the card reader and get the pump working. Finally the attendant came over and filled me from the truck but wouldn't give me the self-serve price. I called the FBO manager on the phone but he just stated that they were working on the problem. My advice...Don't plan on going in after hours unless you call ahead!

Arrived near 5 pm on Sunday for Jet-A turn-around. Airport service was prompt, friendly, and affordable as described. Would come back for fuel stop.

March, I planned a stop for fuel (very competitive) listed guaranteed on AirNav. Upon arrival it was +/- .30 higher for 100LL than advertised. I complained to whoever was there and was pleasantly surprised that when I returned home 3-4 days hence I had a message on my base phone telling me an adjustment was due!!!! Now that is the way to do business. The prices had changed but the listing had not changed yet. They stood behind their guarantee! I like that. G.P. Twin C-340A very easy in and out!

This was a planned stop from the midwest to the west coast due to posted fuel price. The listed cost is accurate, most competitive fuel within 75 of miles of route. The attendants were deliberately helpful and friendly. If more FBO's were like La Junta, there would be more pilots.

I have made several quick turn fuel stops at LHX. It's very easy to get in and out and their fuel prices are very competitive. Definitely recommend.

Great place to do a quick turn, very friendly and great prices, will try to make this a regular stop.

I'll echo the recent comments about friendliness! Whatever problems they may have had in the past, Don made me immediately welcome & practically insisted I take the car into town for lunch. Self-serve pump was a breeze, and the cheapest gas I've found in the area. Nice stop!

What a great place to stop. I landed here going half way across this great country today with our company airplane and what a nice, laid back great place for fuel. Great price... What nice people. Stop here and realize what friendly people La Junta Colorado has. I've been through this area driving many times en route to visit relatives. There is nothing fancy here but good and honest folks here. Enjoy.

Enjoyed a nice stop after a long flight and was greeted by a gentleman who was improving the pilot's lounge. He indicated that there might be inexpensive "on-field" accommodations for just dollars a night very soon. A vanity is being installed for the female travelers but it isn't ready yet. They are even working on an aviation museum. The SS pump was working fine and was even given a soda for the flight. I was sent off with "we are trying to keep the skies friendly!” I will be stopping on my way back.

Stopped here in our C-208 Caravan to load up on fuel. Great place for low price fuel with excellent service. Used their courtesy car to spend the night at the Holiday Inn Express and eat a great steak at El Capitan. We'll stop here again!

Stopped in, unexpectedly, on March 19th when my wife was feeling airsick. Made ourselves at home on the couch for an hour. Nice facility for a quick break...Friendly folks. Thanks!
