Gary is a great guy. He is very helpful and I made a mistake of not calling ahead because I didn't realize that the airport information on AirNav states the fuel service is full service and not self serve. Therefore, I recommend calling ahead before stopping if it is after hours. Although, Gary was still helpful and would definitely stop again and you can not beat the fuel price especially when it is full service and not self service.

On a x-c flight on November 1st, stopped at KSJN for fuel and lunch. Gary Platt was very helpful and great to talk with. He recommended a couple of lunch places within a short drive from the airport, and multiple crew cars were available. Excellent price on fuel as well! I highly recommend this airport on any x-c flights through this region. Will definitely stop back again!

I planned my October 2nd arrival at SJN to coincide with the 7AM opening time. Airport Manager Gary was running a little late that morning, and despite my phone call to him at his home, woke up on the right side of the bed and was in his usual great mood. Two important things...Even though I'm the one who wrote the entry below about cold weather in April, I showed up in shorts with sunrise temperature 31 degrees! (No wind, not TOO bad). And maybe more importantly, fuel price was twenty cents lower than posted on AirNav, or $3.45 per gallon.

Great fuel stop - easy in and out. Great prices and service. A "must" stop when traveling thru AZ.

On a recent trip, KTUS - KBIL on 9/8/09, I stopped for fuel. I had excellent service and as mentioned in a previous post, fuel price was less than advertised on AirNav. I will plan to make this my fuel stop of choice!

I diverted here due to building thunderstorms on my way home from Oshkosh in July 2009. My usual gas stop is Winslow, but after several recent unpleasant experiences at Wiseman Aviation, I was thankful to the thunderstorms for bringing me to St. Johns! The FBO employee (didn't catch his name) was extraordinarily helpful. After gassing me up, he gave me a courtesy car and told me where the motels and eateries were. Can't complain about the price of avgas here, either.

I always stop here in my TR182 on the way back to San Francisco Bay Area. Great fuel prices with Friendly FULL SERVICE for a quick stop. Put this fuel stop on your list.

Fueled here both ways on a round trip to San Diego. Fast turn, good runway and the low fuel prices. The temps are much cooler there (90) while it was 115 in Phoenix.

I have to stop here for fuel because of my route and equipment. I believe I would stop even if I didn't have to. Polite and efficient seems to be their motto. Try St. Johns. You will be back.

Gary answered the Unicom 10 miles out, and was a delight to meet. A great place to stop even if the fuel wasn't the cheapest in Arizona! If I get within a 100 miles of this place again I am stopping!

Stopped in for fuel on 4/12/09. This airport/FBO NEVER fails to impress. They have a computer, courtesy car, GREAT fuel price, and very friendly proprietor. Great service will be had by all who stop here.

Flew in ten days ago in a C340 and found a nice little airport with very helpful staff. Fuel was much lower then what is posted on AirNav...I wanna say $2.35/gal 100LL. It was surprising to find cheaper prices for fuel in the middle of nowhere instead of Phoenix area, Flagstaff or even Prescott

Beautiful little airport with great runways and pilot facilities. Gary is a very personable host. And with the greatest fuel price for miles. I'll be stopping here often.

An excellent fuel stop before you cross the border into New Mexico. 100LL at $4.85/gallon. Very nice crew car (with A/C!) and a great recommendation for lunch. Then, computer for weather briefing for the next leg. Highly recommended

Stopped on 30 June and 7 July 2008 heading east this was our first time stopping at KSJN. I can only say that all the good things said about this place are true! We stopped again heading west. Great friendly people. They came out to the airplane before I could get out and the fueling was done quickly. Made for a great stop with great prices and friendly, quick service and the office and bathrooms are just a wingspan away. We'll stop there again.

Nice positive that nice airport operators come out and fill your tanks.... Not self-serve. I topped off both coming and going from Phoenix to Dallas both directions over a weekend and met both "Gary's." Just a reminder to those of us from warmer climates, there was snow on the ground around the airport here in mid April and the morning temperature on arrival was 29F!

Got fuel on cross-country from Denver to San Diego (and also on the return flight). The price is excellent @ $3.55/gallon. Very friendly staff and prompt service. Let me use the truck to go get a hamburger in town. My 4 and 2 year old were running around the lobby spilling water and they were very understanding on having little kids needing to stretch. Must stop if you need a break and want good prices and service.

As usual, St. Johns was a great fuel stop. Very fast service and the best prices in the west for 100 LL. Their fuel hose must reach 200 feet so even if someone is parked next to the pump, they can get to you easily.

Arrived over an hour after they had closed at night. Lucky I had called ahead before departing and someone was there waiting to fuel me on my cc trip to the West coast. Nice people and the best fuel prices I have ever seen. Great stop. I'll be back in my B58.

A+ Great fuel stop! A friend had recommended this airport to me, so I gave it a shot. I arrived after hours and they had a crew car ready for me. After spending the evening in a hotel I returned to take fuel and take off. The service was excellent. I'm sure I will stop there again then next time I'm in that part of the country.
