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!!!

Flew in this Thursday morning and Sunday morning in my BE-55. Could not have had any better or friendlier refueling service or pilot’s lounge.

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!

Best place to stop between CA and FL! Super nice people. Hospitality!!! Quick service, courtesy car, overnight hangar, special rate at the Holiday Inn Express. Just a great experience overall. I will go out of my way to stop here in the future!

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!

Great gas stop on way to Colorado. Service was excellent and the price was right. Even lent us the crew car to get some lunch in town. Always a treat visiting small towns

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.

We stopped for fuel on the way home from the annual Commander Owners Group fly-in. During our run-up we discovered a problem with the airplane. Fortunately for us we were at Rocket Aviation! These guys are the best. Dwaine, and Ronnie got us back in the air in no time, and Tim and his staff made sure we had everything we needed to stay comfortable while the work was being done. This is a great place to stop, and if you happen to have a breakdown this is where you want to be for sure.

Great service with a friendly, make you feel like family attitude. Stopped in for gas and lunch. Rocket helped with the self-serve gas and loaned us a courtesy car. Their recommendation for food was on the mark. Highly recommend you give PVW and Rocket your patronage.

Worth the stop. Tim and the gang are really helpful and the fuel prices can't be beat anywhere. The refurbished FBO is nice. This FBO should be on anyone's stop.

Great place to stop - good fuel prices and service. Overnight in a hangar is very reasonable - especially appreciated when windy. Nice free courtesy car for overnights.

A couple of friends and I flew from Fort Worth to Santa Fe, NM and made a fuel stop at Hale Co Airport. The FBO is very clean and comfortable. The people are here are friendly. We fueled, had a drink and stretched out legs then continued. On the way back that evening, we stopped in again for fuel. I think they were about to close shop but when they heard us on the radio, they stuck around to keep the door open. Thank You very much. I will be stopping there again on my next trip out West.

This is a fantastic airport and Rocket Aviation was awesome. Came in on a Pilots n Paws animal rescue mission and the folks there could not have been nicer. Came right on in and gave us a quick turn that we needed to avoid some thunderstorms that were coming in to the area. Friendly and professional service. Airport is in great shape as well. And cheapest fuel around. Will be back for sure. Thanks folks

Great service! Stopped in on 7/08 on way to Canada and again on 7/20 on return trip. Friendly, great service, hangared the plane, and used courtesy car overnight. Nice facility with picnic table in the shade and computer for weather inside.

West Texas Hospitality for sure! The folks at Rocket Aviation are very friendly and helpful. I decided to make Plainview my last stopover on the cross country from Reno to Houston in the little Grumman. I could not have been happier with the hospitality, the courtesy car, the directions to and from hotels and restaurants. These are good people. Make it a stopover on your next cc. You will not be disappointed.

Having read the previous comments I can only add "ditto”! Stopped for the fuel prices and got great hospitality as well! If we pass that way again you know we will stop at Rocket.

On a long XC from ATL to VNY, was intending to pit at HRX. Wx forced me to PVW instead. What a pleasant find. Very reasonable fuel, 2 great big runways, and great GA FBO. We landed early afternoon. Couldn't launch due to ice over NM, so we RON in town. Hunter, the young line fellow, was super helpful and nice. Don't think the word "no" is in his vocab. Lent us the CC overnite, and hangared our Arrow. This is a great GA airport/FBO!!!
