After all the great comments we were sad that it was clearly unattended (no answer on radio or telephone) as we flew over at 6:45pm on a Sunday. We'll try again on the next swing past.

Flew into KTCC for an unplanned weather diversion/fuel stop at around 11pm. I called Bill at the Blue Swallow Motel who was gracious enough to pick me up at 11:30 at night, even though he had already turned in. I highly recommend the motel, it was very clean as advertised, and Bill really goes above and beyond for his guests. In the morning I had a fully fueled Bellanca waiting for me. (The FBO has order sheets you can fill out if you arrive after hours.) The gentleman working the counter was very friendly as well. Great place to stop!

Had to self-service with 100LL as it was after hours, but that was fine. Bill from the Blue Swallow Motor Court came and picked me up - can't say enough about his service and friendliness! Gave me a beer (after a looonnnng day flying) and then took me to a restaurant for dinner. Next morning he returned me to the airport. Highly suggest staying at the Blue Swallow, a retro 40's motel. Great place and very attractive price!

Stopped in on 6/28/09. Excellent service by the airport staff member. Helped fuel the plane, and then towed it to the tiedown spot for the night. Bill at the Blue Swallow couldn't accommodate us, so he called Rich across the street at Motel Safari (575-461-1048). Rich came out to give us a ride to his motel, after a tour of some of the sights along old 66. Motel Safari is also historic, but has been updated with modern amenities while retaining the retro style. (Pillow-top mattresses, flat-screen TV, wireless network, etc.) He gave us a different tour on the way back out to the airport the next morning. This is THE definition of traveler service, and definitely the place for an overnight stop.

Ernie, the airport manager, fueled my plane quickly and efficiently, invited me to use his facilities for flight planning and gave me invaluable advice about the local terrain, the winds and the weather, helped me tie down my airplane and arranged for a local motel to pick me up at the airport (a substantial distance from town). The Swallow Motel is the best and most interesting thing in Tucumcari. As someone else noted, it is the oldest functioning motel on historic Route 66. Bill and his wife Terri, who own and run the motel, are the nicest people you'll ever want to meet. They have lovingly restoring the Swallow to its former glory, complete with an old cigarette vending machine in the lobby and black Ma Bell rotary-dial telephones in the rooms (though they also have high-speed wireless and all the other modern amenities). A real piece of history not to be missed. All in all a great place to stop, whether merely for fuel or for an evening at the historic Swallow Motel.

Landed Friday June 5th, after closing time. Owner of the Blue Swallow Motel came and got me from the airport and took me back the next morning. Clean room at a reasonable price.

Had an unexpected stop at KTCC on 5/27/09 due to bad storms in our path on a trip from GA to Las Vegas. It turned out to be a very pleasant surprise! The gentleman at the airport fueled us quickly and connected us to Bill at the Blue Swallow Motel. Bill owns the oldest functioning motor lodge on historic Rt. 66 and will come to the airport to pick you up and bring you back. I Highly recommend this stop. You can experience great service and a piece of history all at the same time!

Good Service and Owner of Blue Swallow Motel offered to come pick me up. Watch the winds.

Stopped overnight on 19 October. Jim was very helpful getting our T-34 into the hangar and despite the "90 minute" admonition on the wall gave us the crew car overnight, since there is no taxi service into town. Use caution in the future as we were told the airport would be unattended on the weekends when the self-serve pumps are up and operational. Seems a shame, as the airport is somewhat remote from the city. Another case of a city saving money in the wrong place.

We stopped on 10-18-08 and were charged 5.66 for 100LL, one week later on 10-25-08 we were charged 5.40. The attendant stated it was the same fuel load. What gives?

We recently made an unplanned stop at TCC - very friendly staff, excellent service. Be aware of the winds out there - they can be impressive! I'll definitely be back.

Stopped in for fuel on the way to Vegas. Steve was very friendly and topped the tanks for us. He also took time to keep up with the gallons so I could check the accuracy of our fuel flow meter. Thanks Steve

Unscheduled stop in Tucumcari was made enjoyable and as short as possible by Steve's friendly, helpful manner. Excellent stop, great service. Highly recommend stopping here. Courtesy car and hotel pickup service both available!

Great stop on my trip from Granbury, TX to Durango, CO in my little Piper Cherokee. Full service fuel and a courtesy car (Ford Crown Vic, ex-police special) were provided. We drove into town and ate at Del's Restaurant. Excellent patty melts. Thanks.

1-15-07 Same comments as Mr. Tiner on 8/06. Very good place for gas and food stop. Operator was very courteous and helpful. 90 minute courtesy cars and even started it up and cleaned the snow off the windows for me. Will use it again.
