One of two favorite places in the Panhandle to stop. Nice facility, good fuel prices, and friendly staff. Nice airport with good runways.

Rockets a surprise in hospitality, more like coming home to meet family support. In (two) recent 3-day trips for a pre buy and repair, all of our needs were met, but the most surprising Gift is Ronnie Robin, Director of Maintenance. He is an ICON in Bellanca service history, for over 30 years, starting with Miller Aviation. Ronnie is there first for you, and will take the time to professionally address all your needs, and then meet your expectations with NO Surprise costs. He even took time to fly the pattern a couple of times to shake the rust out of me. When a plane leaves his shop, he and his staff have it Right! Thanks again for a pleasant surprise Gift of Ronnie.

Always a great experience. Nice FBO, super helpful and friendly folks and good prices. This trip was just a quick stop for fuel, but Mark was helpful from the moment I made my initial call on CTAF.

Rocket Aviation is a great group defining the renowned Texas hospitality. During both of my stopovers here rocket provided us with transportation to the hotel and to lunch. In addition, we had a prebuy performed and some minor work done. Rockets staff are detail oriented and very professional. I highly recommend Rocket Aviation for all of your aviation needs.

Mark at Rocket was very helpful, giving us directions to the self-serve pump during our approach to the airport. Once on the ground Mark was there to help with the card reader and pump operation. Great place to stop for fuel and break from flying in hot Texas weather. We will stop here again.

Rocket was very helpful and friendly. They offered to help with directions, hotel and recommendations on places to eat. I had called ahead to check on a loaner car. We made our initial radio call at 10 miles out and they called back to see if we needed the car. They cranked it and had it cooling off for us.

We flew in on the 13th of July from Goodland Kansas. It was a rough ride there and we were glad to get out of the plane. Mark got us a hotel room at the Holiday Inn Express and got us a great rate. He even had courtesy car for us to use. You can bet we will stop there again...

We came in late to Rocket Aviation. We had called ahead to see if there was a courtesy car. Upon our arrival Rocket delivered the car to our plane, fueled us promptly and provided us with maps and local coupons. Great job Rocket! We highly recommend you to others.

Rocket Aviation is what an FBO should be-old school. Personal, helpful, reasonable and very friendly. Such a business deserves your support. Visit Rocket Aviation and you won't be disappointed.

Stopped en route to AOPA Summit. Long runway, inexpensive fuel, clean FBO, friendly personnel, a crew car with "character", nearby restaurants with home made bread. A great example of what makes GA such a pleasure. Please stop there and be a customer. I will, again.

We stopped here on our way to KODO and stayed overnight in town while visiting my brother and his family. Mark who was attending the desk arranged for us to get an extremely reasonably priced hotel room, which was cheaper than I could get with my AAA discount. Also, he had the courtesy car waiting and air-conditioned by the time we needed to unload. Fuel prices were great, Mark was very attentive, and the whole experience at KPVW was what I wish I could get at every FBO we landed at. I highly recommend this if your route takes you nearby and tell Mark that I said hello.

I stop at KPVW and Rocket whenever flying between Central Texas and Colorado. This trip I could not get there until 8:45pm. They close at 6pm but when I emailed and asked about services the day before they offered to meet me there and fuel me because the self serve reader was broken. Gary was there when I arrived and fueled us up and gave us the courtesy car to grab a quick dinner in town, which is very close. This is just another in a long list of great experiences at KPVW. I recommend this field as a nice stop for anyone transiting this way.

Kudos to Ronnie and the folks at Rocket. Experienced a total loss of electrical power over PVW, and made a precautionary landing at 6:30 PM on a Sunday. Before I could get off the phone with the first service person on their list, Ronnie was on site for consultation and a boost to get us back on our way. Modern, clean FBO and facilities too!

Arrived late on a cold Dec afternoon. Kevin quickly topped off fuel tanks and loaned us courtesy car for the night. Waited out the freezing fog the next day with other pilots in very comfortable office/pilot lounge. And, the fuel prices are great! Ask Kevin about the great hamburger place nearby; best burger I've had in years.

11-8-2011 Came into Plainview for a three-night stay with a C550. Ramp construction was in progress near hangars and the large tug was not available. Due to the ramp construction, hangar space was very limited and the maintenance shop was using the main storage hangar for working on aircraft. Lineman Kevin Robbins worked very hard, above and beyond to get us parked in the hangar. The maintenance shop made special concessions and went out of their way to make sure our aircraft was able to stay inside during the whole stay. 5 stars to this fine FBO.

Great airfield and FBO. Easy to use self-service, great fuel price, and best of all super people running this first class operation. Appreciated the courtesy car (an old caddy) and directions to a good place to eat less than a mile away. We'll be back - no question.

Landed at Rocket Aviation from Houston for Booker T Washington reunion. I taxied for a short period when a gentleman, David was his name appeared to assist me in parking and to refuel my aircraft. Good service nice commodious FBO good pilots lounge. Oh did mention that the FBO was cool and comfortable including the nice clean bathroom facilities.. Nice place to stop. PVW keep up the good work. Thanks!!!

Been a while since I'd been through PVW. Rocket Aviation is great! Nice facilities and good fuel prices. Kevin came out after hours to open the shop up to use the facilities and even got a bowl of water for my dogs. We'll see you next time on our way to Colorado!

Was overhead at FL250 and needed to place a call for passenger. These guys relayed via telephone over their Unicom frequency. They were really helpful! Can't wait to stop there and buy some gas!

Our repeat choice for a reliable fuel stop between CO and south Texas. Great 100LL prices, including FS, and the staff repeatedly lends a hand at the self-serve pump on our visits, even in near 30kt winds like today! A true professional in the FBO business in many ways -- he deserves all the GA business we can send and repeatedly earns ours.

Stopped overnight on our way from Sedona AZ to Gainesville FL. After hours but called Tim to find out where to park. He insisted on driving out to airport to help us tie down. Gave us a car to use and directions to a hotel with discount. Fueled up in the morning with very reasonable prices. Everyone associated with Rocket could not have been nicer. Would highly recommend for fuel stop or overnight stay

Stopped in on our way to Santa Fe from Houston last week. It was cold and we were tired and hungry. They were on the radio as we landed, guiding us to their FBO. Linemen was there to marshal us in and immediately brought the fuel truck to fuel us. Fuel was cheap enough for us to let them fuel it, instead of us self serving it! Comfortable lounge and pilots weather station. Loaned us a car and recommended a local restaurant. Great cross country stop with good fuel prices!

I'm the pilot/owner of the airplane, which experienced a mechanical problem after fueling up at Plainview. Carl's comments below about Dwayne and Ronnie at Rocket Aviation are right on. These gentlemen stopped what they were doing and did everything they could to get us back in the air. They were conscientious, methodical, and competent in every way. Thanks "Rocket Aviation!

Great folks. Called ahead for fuel and courtesy car availability. Car was waiting when we landed. Got help with the fueling and when I had trouble with a hot start got great help and advice from the folks at Rocket. Best place to stop in my opinion between Central Texas and New Mexico or Southern Colorado.
