Arrived evening unannounced for great fuel pricing ($4.36/gal.) and RON. John was still there past normal working hours. He was very friendly and helpful--highlighted route on map he furnished to guide us to "motel row", gave us code to obtain after hours access to terminal bldg. And ramp gate, helped tie down the airplane (with newly installed tie downs), and offered, "crew car" for the night. Ramp is newly resurfaced; airport is clean and well maintained. Don't pass SWI if you want a great small airport experience! Airport cat is a hoot too.

An excellent airport and an excellent value to GA. It still has the lowest fuel prices (sometimes almost $2 lower than McKinney, 25 miles to the south). A good gateway to the DFW-FW area.

Love the fuel price! Made a quick trip to the Dairy Queen using the courtesy car before continuing on my way. Second time I've visited the place, and won't hesitate to do so again.

Very low fuel prices. $3.29 this past weekend. Even when the place is closed you can enter the building and use the computer for flight planning, WX and duats.

Stopped in for fuel on 9/15/2007. Was met at the pump by a friendly man (forget his name) that helped me with refueling even though it is self-service. GREAT fuel prices $3.37 gal. Very nice lounge @ FBO & clean restrooms. Super nice people. Even had free soft drinks @ cookies. The perfect example of what every airport should be.

Excellent! I stopped for an overnight and fuel. Was met by John Hooker of J&S Aviation. Very Helpful. Was given the "Airport Car" for the night. John pointed out an area with numerous hotels and places to eat. Aviation Fuel price was excellent! This is a "must stop" Thanks John

Every 6 months we fly from Switzerland (commercial, of course...) to fly around in the USA, mainly in Texas and neighboring states. We love to come to SWI on Saturdays, their fuel prices are the best around, most of the times we can keep the courtesy car for the evening and we go watch stock car races at the close by track. Very friendly folks, always helpful, we have been doing this for a few years and expect to do it for many more.

Great Fuel Stop!

Ditto to the comments about the fuel prices. I fly through here occasionally and stop whenever in the area to purchase fuel. If you'll check the aviation fuel nationwide, you'll find that the $2.53/gallon for 100LL is the absolute lowest price in the nation as of this posting. They always have very, very reasonable prices and it's a very quick turn for fuel and a break. The FBO is quite clean and the service is as good as it gets. Thanks for being such an aviation-friendly stop!

I am rarely this impressed! Absolutely the best gas prices I've seen in recent memory ($2.53 vice over $3.00 gal pretty much everywhere else in the country) and the courtesy car was in great condition. This will definitely be a stop of mine every time I come through the area as long as these prices and this service lasts!

I was at SWI today and found only a trickle of fuel coming out of the pump. I climbed down off of the ladder and recycled the pump (which caused it to spit out a 69 cent receipt) and I tried to pump fuel again. I shut the pump off (another 5 cent receipt) and walked into the maintenance hangar. Sure enough, the airport ran out of avgas yesterday. The folks were extremely helpful and friendly, even offered me the loaner car to go get some MoGas. Maybe next time the tank is dry, they could put a post-it note on the self-service panel or pull the circuit breaker on the pump. Regardless, fellow pilots should be aware that they do run out of gas.

Great airport, great fuel prices; this is what general aviation is all about. I wish there were more like it.

Nice well-kept airport and lounge. Best fuel prices around! The fuel pump sees a steady stream of traffic from folks coming simply to buy fuel. No computer weather. A great place.

Great little airport. These guys are really trying to support General Aviation with their low fuel prices. I highly recommend stopping in and supporting these guys.

We stopped at Sherman by chance, a neat clean airport, with a nice pilot lounge. The pilot lounge couch is acceptable for sleeping, as entries in the logbook attest. Since it was late in the afternoon, John Hooker gave us the crew car for the night; a city map was in the car. We explored Sherman, a quiet small town. As we were told, the cheap motels are along the Texoma Parkway; $30 a night is possible, but the rooms were small, old and non-smoking rooms hard to find. The better motels are along I-75, plenty of good rooms ~$60 within 2 miles of the airport. Some motels will pick you up if the crew car is in use. Friendly folks, cheap fuel, crew car and free overnight tie down, we will be back.

I'm based at KADS, but I always come here for fuel. It's always a great price (usually the best around) and the facilities are always clean and well kept. Nice lounge, and the runway is in great shape. Airport management does a great job!!!

Nice airport with self-serve fuel selling at almost half what they're charging for AvGas at ADS, where I'm based. Clean terminal (access after-hours using emergency frequency as door code), with full-fledged recip repair facility next door that was open on Saturday afternoon. Great place to stop.

I have posted about SWI before, but it just continues to impress. Low low low fuel prices! I flew to here before a cross country and filled up, then flew to my destination, and back and filled up again and then headed home to ADS. It makes a difference when you pay 1/2 price compared to other places in the metroplex. Outstanding little terminal, clean facilities...just great!

I stopped through for a fill-up and the price was on the money. Lowest price gas around. The field is in great shape. You should not miss this stop if going through the area. John Hooker is an A&P in the hangar next to the pump, nice guy, drop in and say hello. He said they are building some new T hangars that are already leasing up.

Nice, friendly airport. The pilot's lounge was comfortable. The courtesy car was nice and available on Saturday. The local EAA Chapter has helped out in making the airport an attractive place.

Construction completed with full length taxiway to RWY 34, larger taxiway at main ramp area, and new asphalt ramp space on north end of airport with tie downs.
