I flew into MDQ as a fuel stop on a trip early this week. They gave me the same good service they always do. On the return trip two days later I stopped for fuel again and this time the line staff had the fuel truck pulled out and waiting on me....they remembered me and knew what I would want. I walked in and they called me by name! This FBO is clearly doing all the right things.
 

From Charles Hasek on 05-Aug-2008

Ray and Donna and their staff at Executive Flight Center are top notch and the facilty is first class. This is the 3rd summer in a row I have flown into Huntsville to take my children to Space Camp and I really appreciate the great service. Everything from greeting our Baron at 9:00pm, having the rental car ready and on the ramp, tie-down assistance and keeping an eye on our plane when the weather looked bad. Last year, I even made use of their well appointed conference room to handle a 4 hour business meeting. Kudos MDQ.
 

From Jim Lambert on 19-Jun-2008

I flew in on June 18 on an Angel Flight mission. This is one of the nicest FBO's around. They are so nice to the Angel Flight patients and go out of their way to help the AF pilots. Too bad all FBO's are not this well run. They are a real asset to the flying community.
 

From Terrance Power on 10-Jun-2008

This is where to go when you're dropping your child off at Space Camp. Super-nice people that were there to guide me to my parking spot, rental car pulled right out to the plane along with cold water for all, etc., etc...15 minutes (at most) from MDQ to the camp. All FBO's should be this well run. Thanks y'all!
 

From Scott Lindsly on 31-May-2008

Probably shouldn't write again so soon, but just want to reiterate what a fantastic place this is! Made another trip to KMDQ for a Memorial Day long weekend with relatives in Huntsville, and the folks at Executive are the best anywhere! Ran off for a few days in between to Kansas City, landing gear issues on the return, and the (also very friendly) guys at on-site Yulista Aviation mechanics were a huge help too! Then stuck over a couple extra days for wx, EFC did everything they could to to make us feel right at home in their first-class facility... Thanks again, and see y'all again soon!!
 

From Todd Fuller on 25-May-2008

AWESOME place for general aviation! I flew here for the first time May 16th 2008 to visit a friend and his family that moved to Huntsville from Florida. The staff was very friendly and did not charge me at all just to park for the weekend. I did not "drain" any services and they understood that, unlike many other airports, who want you to pay an inflated fee just for tickling their ramp tarmac, or pay for inflated fuel. I will be revisiting this airport again, and by the way, the fuel price isn't half bad either.
 

From Scott Lindsly on 15-Apr-2008

First trip to KMDQ this weekend, many more to come! This has to be one of the classiest GA airports, and with the best of Southern charm! Flew my daughter and mom in to visit relatives, and EFC parked our baby in an available covered tie-down (and even offered the hangar), which was of immeasurable comfort as an unexpected hail-storm came in the following day--called after it was over for reassurance! Topped us off, full-service nearly at self-service prices, and we enjoyed the deluxe and welcoming accommodations several times. It can't get much better than what we experienced!! Thanks to all the friendly and helpful folks there, from N8036R!
 

From Tyler Rutherford on 24-Feb-2008

I went into the center to see about learning to fly there. I was greeted with amazing help; they gave me a tour that won me over to be a student. I bought a kit and start ground school soon. Great people.
 

From Jeff Hersom on 04-Feb-2008

What can I add that hasn't already been said? This place is top notch - and then some. Wonderful facilities, great prices, and the best of all - great folks! Ray and Donna certainly know how to hook customers - they've got another one!
 

From Bruce Eckert on 24-Nov-2007

As good as it gets. Friendly, prompt, great facility, good fuel prices. Slightly closer to downtown Huntsville than KHSV - also easier in and out.
 

From Ashutosh Rao on 13-Oct-2007

Very friendly people. I was concerned after reading about the high fees at HSV, and decided to go to MDQ. I called Executive about ramp fees and tie down fees (I was staying for three days), and they told me there were NO fees, even if I did not buy gas! Of course I filled up there because it’s the right thing to do. Lineman was very nice, told me the plane would be perfectly safe tied down for a few days. We definitely give them my business again.
 

From Glenn Broga on 27-Aug-2007

A true gem in the south! The folks running and working the FBO are top notch. It is an easy in and easy out airport with the best fuel prices in the area. We look forward to our next visit with them.
 

From Allen Lieberman on 28-Jul-2007

Awesome service. Quick turn was a quick turn on both times I visited to and from. Outstanding FBO as well.
 

From Mark Waggoner on 17-Jul-2007

After reading less-than-rave reviews of other airports in the area, I decided on MDQ for a weekend trip. All I can say is the other comments on this page are well validated. I fly all over the country and this one has to rank in the top 5. Super nice and very helpful staff. I'll definitely return.
 

From Tom Feminella on 30-Jun-2007

Excellent FBO!! Great service and great folks who will help in any way they can.
 

From George Cumbee on 29-Jun-2007

What a great facility and people. Flew down from Nashville for dinner. Staff was absolutely wonderful. Gave us directions to restaurants, courtesy car. Beautiful FBO building. Will definitely go back. Thanks Ray. Keep up the great work....
 

From Daniel Oppenheim on 28-Jun-2007

I'll second what Mr. Roan said about Executive. I flew my children in for Space Camp and decided to use Madison County. The service was fast and friendly, fuel was much cheaper than at HSV and the rental car was ready to go. It's a quick drive to and from the Space Center and Huntsville Approach makes the in and out easy as well. I'll use Executive again and would choose them any day of the week over Signature.
 

From Erik Troan on 26-Jun-2007

I've stopped at MDQ four times in the past 18 months, and I've had great service every time. The folks at Executive are simply as friendly as could be, and they make every flight a pleasure. Huntsville locals are always surprised I picked the "other" airport, but I'll take Executive over Signature every time.
 

From John Kidd on 31-Dec-2006

What a great experience. My son and I came in for aviation challenge at the Space Center. The folks at MDQ made our arrival and departure a very easy experience. Highly recommend this FBO!
 

From G L Bush on 02-Nov-2006

What a fantastic experience! Ray & Donna are so attentive to our needs. Why would anyone go to Huntsville? The difference in the price of fuel is worth stopping here if you have anything to do in the Huntsville area. They could use an ILS, but guess what? It's coming soon! Don't pass Executive Flight Center up folks. This is a keeper!
 

From Jean-Francois Reat on 13-Aug-2006

My 4th annual visit to bring children to Aviation Challenge in Huntsville. Extremely prompt, courteous service. Courtesy car (ex-police Crown Vic, very adequate) available on first-come basis. Beautiful new FBO facility.
 

From Tim Rhyne on 18-Jul-2006

Spent the day with Ray Meyer (airport manager) and his staff while waiting on my passengers to return from business. They are responsive, friendly and exemplify Southern Hospitality. MDQ is a growing airport that caters to all, without fees or distress if you don't need fuel. Web site tells the truth about their capabilities. Will definitely return.
 

From Ray Roessler on 25-Jun-2006

Great personal service from Ray, Donna, and the crew. During a 2-week business trip to the Huntsville area, they made arrangements for my rental car, aircraft wash, and even hangared my single engine plane after the wash. Rental car was ready and was delivered planeside upon my landing. Prior to my IFR departure, Ray took the time to walk me through the "WxWorx on Wings" computer program that they have in the flight planning area. Friendly people. Great facilities.
 

From Ed Rickett on 30-May-2006

Flew into KMDQ from Atlanta area in a Commander 112A. Only stayed a few hours and didn't need fuel, but the line and desk crew treated me with great courtesy. Wonderful facilities and good people. Can't ask for better than that! Will be back....
 

From Hesham Oubari on 28-May-2006

Executive Flight Center provides service one would expect from a much larger organization on a field that is small. I mean this in a good way, as they haven't lost that touch for hospitality. I came in on a Saturday, and they immediately hangared my plane (for much less than anywhere else on my trip). They also arranged a hotel room for me prior to arrival. That night, flight service was advising an early departure (prior to their 0800 opening on a Sunday). I called in and they offered to have my plane ready by 0730, which they did. Superb people running a superb FBO. I agree with the other positive comments! Anytime I visit the Huntsville area, I'm coming here!
 

From Al T. Cobb on 15-May-2006

This FBO just continues to amaze me. On Saturday I played golf at the course next door. The owner asked if I would take some pictures from the air for him. So I did. When I got back on the ground the manager of the FBO took my card from my camera and copied my pictures onto a CD. He wouldn't even let me pay him for the disk. You guys with the small jets would be crazy to go anywhere else for fuel. This is the best FBO on the PLANET.
 

From Doug Preston, Sr. C-501 on 12-Apr-2006

Spent over 12 hours at Executive Flight Center 4/11/06 waiting for passenger and could not ask for a nicer facility with outstanding people and service. Loaned us a crew car and directed us to good food at Posey's. Friendly, helpful and a great attitude, not to mention the lack of ramp fees and outragous fuel prices that you will encounter at HSV. This has to be one of the leading FBO's in the country. Try them, you will like them.
 

From Digby Solomon on 02-Apr-2006

Took a western detour last week to avoid worst of the weather enroute from Chicago to Florida. Ray runs a very neat and efficient facility. Very friendly service....They even found a plastic bowl for my dog to drink from out of their kitchen. Definitely worth the stop.
 

From Steve Bodner on 19-Mar-2006

This FBO has earned our business. These kind people treat aviators like real customers. There is nothing within reason that the staff here would not do for their customers. This level of service is unique in the aviation world. These people care about the people that bring their airplanes to Madison County. What a great alternative to the other Huntsville area airport.
 

From Jim Fitch on 10-Feb-2006

We fly into Huntsville (from Florida) a few times a year, and the service here is always great. Always greeted on the ramp and guided into position. Rental car always in order per prior reservation. Always-friendly service.
 

From Mark Lockhart on 30-Oct-2005

Flew into MDQ for a seminar. Everything was as promised. The rental car was ready, staff was very courteous and professional. Good selection of charts of which I needed. I would highly recommend this FBO to anyone and will be back when I am in the area.
