30 June 2008 Landed at PVW on our way from California to San Antonio. As soon as the engine stopped turning the truck was there to fill us up. We decided to stop for the day, the Rocket Aviation crew were very helpful, gave us a car, told us about good places to stay and eat. They offered to put the airplane in the hangar for the night, just in case the winds came up. A welcome difference from the big FBO's. I would go out of the way to stop there again. Great service, friendly people, a good price for fuel; what else could you need?

Great fuel stop. When I got to the ramp, the fuel truck was right there next to my plane. Reasonable fuel prices and friendly folks. Good quick turn around.

Made two stops into Plainview on 14 April. The linemen had me turned around in under 20 minutes each time. Very friendly and clean. Excellent pilot's lounge. I highly recommend them.

Fast, friendly, good price - what more could you ask for? How about Internet and cold drinks? Yes they have all that.

You can always expect a clean FBO and no surprises about fuel availability. Fuel prices about average, but where I base my airplane, 100LL is $3.15 per gallon, not too far away, Abilene Aero, alias Abilene Dinero is in well excess of $5 per gallon. PAY-AT-THE-PUMP, meaning you can be 99% certain you can arrive at an odd or late hour, fuel your airplane and be on your way. Although no real food at the airport, airport car for a quick run to a nearby Sonic or several cafes nearby... Can't recall if ropes are available for tie-down at the ramp.

Friendly, excellent service. Even the owner came by to welcome us to Plainview. Clean facilities. Adequate, but small, lunchroom with vending machines.

Good gas price, courtesy car overnight, directions to motels and restaurants with recommendations, and really hospitable folks. This is what an FBO should be like. We'll go out of our way to stop here again!!

Had the pleasure of stopping at Plainview on August 3rd, '07. Tim and Stacey, Rocket Aviation owners, are two of the most hospitable people we've ever met. This facility is clean, well maintained...Can't think of enough adjectives...Stop and see! Equally important, appreciated their fair gas price and the use of the "airport car". Lorne & Peg

My friends, if you bypass little Plainview and the wonderful folks at Rocket Aviation, you will have missed something special. Leave your all- too -busy world and step into a John Steinbeck description of a wind-blown, Texas panhandle airfield (very well maintained), to rediscover the charm of why you got into flying airplanes in the first place. You'll be met with a smile, a handshake and a "howdy!" They can have you airborne before your gyros spin down, but that would be a shame. Cool off in their newly renovated lounge and office, with all the latest flight planning do-dads, or grab a burger in town, but be sure to chat with Tim and Ronnie and the cast of characters who seem to appear from nowhere. Should you need maintenance, you will find more experience, talent and skill, than at any airport, big or small, anywhere, anytime. When you fly out of PVW, something in the back of your mind will already be planning a return visit.

Tim and his crew took great care of us on our trip from Denver to Austin and back. On the return trip they had the crew car pulled up to the plane with the air conditioning running! Can't wait to see the building once the remodel is done. Cheap fuel, great service, crew car and a great meal at the Cotton Patch - what's not to love about Plainview?

Stopped by on 6-29-07 for the first time due to advertised fuel price. With so much consolidation going on in the FBO world, it is nice to visit a small facility owned by a person who genuinely loves airplanes, just like me. It turns out we know a lot of the same people in west Texas. Great conversation, sodas and peanuts. I am jealous. See you again soon, Tim.

I stopped at KPVW 5/25 and had the usual great service. I met the new owner Tim who is making a much better FBO facility but it is undergoing renovation. His employee filled my plane up quickly and we were on our way in a flash. This is a great field and FBO on the way to or from Colorado or New Mexico from Eastern Texas or for anyone crossing the Lubbock area of Texas. I recommend it highly.

We can just agree! Great, nice FBO!! Tim's a nice guy! We got cheap fuel and even a courtesy van! Definitely a place to recommend for fuel stop or just a break.

Great place to stop between Dallas and Albuquerque if the winds aren't favorable. Very friendly people. Courtesy car usually available even when office closed on weekends. Quick in and out. I heard they are going to be remodeling to make things even easier on pilots when unattended.

Excellent fuel stop. Fast friendly service. Best price on fuel around. This is the kind of FBO that earns and deserves our business. Great place!

On a cross country from New Mexico to Florida, stopped for fuel. SS pump worked as advertised. The offer of a courtesy car and we went into town for lunch. A good stop with easy in and out.

Great stop. It was on a Saturday and the shop was closed. We had a low left brake on a Cessna 180 and there was a crosswind, which made it interesting. Marlin opened up the shop for us and loaned a wrench and bleeder can for us to fix the problem so we could move on. THANKS!!!!!

I made my second stop at Plainview/Hale County 8/4/06. Mr. Miller and his staff were very helpful and friendly. They encouraged us to take the courtesy car to town and recommended Jumbo Joe's for a good local spot for lunch. This is a great easy in and easy out airfield. I will continue to stop here on my trips to Colorado from Austin.

Good place to stop. Miller's always has low fuel prices but this trip it was even less than St. Johns AZ and $1 less than national average. Crew car available.

Great place to stop on way from PHX to Florida. Reasonable fuel and have Aerostar experienced mechanics. Usually have courtesy car available

Miller Flying Service has several places to take a load off. I fly in and out of PVW all the time and Miller's is where I park. There's benches right inside the main door where you can talk to the friendly pilots and employees, and there's a lounge where you can watch T.V. But my favorite place is in the tree swing where you have a perfect view of the runway to watch the traffic arrive and depart. Not to mention they always have the cheapest gas in Plainview.

Landed here about 1830 on a Friday eve. Everything closed and locked, but no problem getting SS 100LL. Can't comment on facilities, but there are a couple nice shade trees to take advantage of.
