Cold with strong north winds and still the FBO staff gladly topped off the plane, and let us - including the dogs - rest in the lounge. WILL be a regular stop in the panhandle.

A great model of a service-oriented business. Hale Co./Plainview, TX started out being just a convenient and economic fuel stop on our way from Orlando, FL to Southern CA, but they quickly showed us they were more than that. Even before landing, they were quick to offer fuel, parking and ground transportation options. Their size may be small, but their hospitality is mighty! The next morning we got to experience the same customer service attitude in their maintenance shop. We needed an O2 fill, which was handled right away. I also had a vacuum pump go out enroute to PVW. Fortunately they had one in stock for our engine and they replaced it in just over an hour. We were in the air by 9:30am. These guys are super heroes!

I was at Hale Co today to transfer Angelflight passengers today. Fuel prices are great, self-serve worked without a hitch, nice friendly FBO with snacks and drinks. A great place to stop for a break.

Stopped here to RON on a flight from Florida to Arizona. This is the most helpful, welcoming, reasonably priced FBO I have encountered anywhere. The fuel and hangar prices were incredibly reasonable, and we got a lot of tips on local restaurants. I would recommend this FBO whether for a fuel stop or a layover.

This was an amazing experience because it was so unexpected. Stopped off for refuel on way home from AirVenture and the welcome began in the air, and continued with great service (with extras) and super low fuel prices. Turns out I needed to stay overnight and motels were suggested and was loaned a crew car! The town even has a Jimmy Dean museum - doesn't get much better!

Not only is this airport maintained well and looks like new, the Rocket Aviation family treat you like family. They fueled, hangared my plane, gave me a loaner car (nice Crown Vic with air!) You can't beat the service or prices anywhere.

This is a super friendly, no hassle FBO. Full service is .20 cents more than self-serve and still much cheaper than any option in the area. They have a Lincoln town car as the crew car and offer great recommendations for food in town. Lineman and desk staff are just nice, friendly people and happy to get your business. This has become my panhandle TX stop for cross-country trips.

Great family owned FBO, with very good fuel prices and excellent service. Stopped by last minute, and was very well taken care of even though it was late in the day. Beautiful airport too. Highly recommended fuel stop.

We (two planes) arrived late, but Mark saw us on flightaware and stayed longer to help us out. Very friendly FBO. Mark gave us the courtesy car over night and offered to brew us coffee in the morning. Not surprised seeing so many 5 star comments.

Everything is okay if before 5 p.m., but god help you if you land at 6 p.m. everything is locked (no code) and there's no restroom. Neither of the numbers listed on the door pick up, so much for "after hours service". I ended walking randomly, in the dark, through a cemetery, drainage ditches, and I'm sure someone's private property, until I stumbled upon a motel. But yeah, self-serve 100LL was okay, no water.Response from Stacie Hardage, Partner Rocket Aviation, LP
Mr. Zaitcev we sincerely apologize for the circumstances surrounding your recent visit to Rocket Aviation. Our office hours are 8:00 am - 6:00 pm 7 days a week. In the future, if you could let us know of your planned after hours visit, we will be happy to stay late, come back out, or make transportation and/or hotel arrangements to accommodate your needs. We do not have any fees associated with these services. In regards to the posted numbers not being answered, please leave a message and your call will be returned. We have added two additional numbers to the list to help ensure this never happens again. We strive hard to provide excellent customer service and meet all of our customers needs with a "happy to do it" attitude. Again, I sincerely apologize and do hope you give us an opportunity to show you we really do care about our customers.

This many super positive comments can't be wrong. Very cheap fuel and very good service. Why aren't all GA airports like this? As of Oct. 2016 the crosswind runway (22/4) was being repaved. It is due to open any day now. The other runway is also in very good shape. I'll definitely be back!
