I agree with the previous poster. I arrived unexpectedly due to the unplanned Blue Angels TFR at Lakeland during SNF. There were no problems at all in getting space for my 414, even though I had not called ahead. Fuel turned out to be cheaper than LAL as well. These guys run a great outfit. It was truly lucky I happened into Plant City, and hope to visit again in the future!

Plant City is a great SNF stop. We stopped there in order to wait out the airshow TFR before arriving into Lakeland. Service was prompt and friendly, and someone was always willing to give you a ride to your airplane so you didn't have to walk. Quick fueling even with the large amount of airplanes! Stan and Martin were also very gracious hosts of Cub Convoy 2011. Even though attendance was poor due to the bad weather, they went out of their way to make participants feel welcomed. Definitely a stop to consider!

Parked my Baron for the entire week during Sun-N-Fun 2011 just to avoid the ridiculous fuel prices and parking fees at Columbia Air Services at LAL. VERY pleased with the service (they began fueling the airplane before I could get the luggage unloaded). Absolutely no issues with fuel, tie-down, rental car, etc. This is a FIRST CLASS operation, and I will absolutely return to PCM for SNF next year.

We chose KPCM this year for our base for Sun N Fun. Boy! Am I glad we did! What a difference than going into KLAL! Very easy in and out. No confusion or hassles. The folks at PCM are the best! Personal and GREAT service. Met by a "follow-me" van, they assisted in unloading the plane and they had a tug connected to the plane to move it and tie it down then quickly got us to the FBO, with our car waiting for us. All this and minus the expensive prices we used to pay at KLAL. Not only that, when we came in we knew the BIG storm was approaching and the folks were kind enough to move around aircraft in their large hangar and get us in. This one is a no brainer: use Plant City for your Sun N Fun parking and fuel. You won't be disappointed. The experience was so good we will plan on a flight to KPCM next year for the Strawberry Festival as well. Thanks again, we look forward to our return trips!

Stopped in for some minor maintenance. The people were very nice and service was excellent. I highly recommend KPCM.

My mechanic, Keith Roller, and I spent a week doing the annual on my airplane, N182VE, at the maintenance hangar at Plant City. Martin Pure, the manager, could not have been more helpful. The chief mechanic, Lee, and Tom were also so helpful to us. We cannot thank them enough.

Flew into Plant City to attend Sun N Fun. A lot easier to fly into than LAL! We got a grass tie down for $10/day and the gas prices were reasonable. They drove us to and from our plane, which was great given all the bags we had. The FAA also had a temporary tower in place for Sun N Fun, which made getting in and out easier. Nice airport and good service.

The Plant City Airport is a delight. It is easy to get in and out of and the facilities are great. The fuel pumps are right in front of the FBO, very convenient. Management and staff are friendly. We used our folding bikes and rode to Fred's Restaurant about 10 minutes away by bike. Great Country Food! We plan to visit Plant City again based on our positive experience.

We flew in this week for the Strawberry Festival and have to compliment the FBO for their courteous and efficient service. (The AirNav "Air Boss" fuel discount was also a nice touch!) Thanks also to Tom, who gave us a ride to the Festival, which was only two miles away for those that like to walk. The strawberry shortcake was delicious, the afternoon entertainment was fun (Debbie Reynolds), and we look forward now to an annual visit.
