Horizon Airport

at Horizon Airport

From Phillip Keaton on 25-Aug-2009

Great Airport! Stopped there to top off, Philip helped turn the pump on and even offered to fuel the airplane. Much cheaper than El Paso International Airport. If I am ever heading out west again, Horizon will definitely be a fuel stop.

A lot of character at this little place, and cold water. I felt like I was stopping by someone's home, but the locals never made me feel unwelcome. Thanks!

May 15, 2009 arrived in my Archer low on fuel from KJCT. Phillip greeted me and gave me a ride to hotel in El Paso and picked me up at 6:30 AM next morning. Easy pickup IFR in air. Good folks and local color.

We've landed here every time except once heading to Phoenix from Ft. Worth for fuel and snack, Phil passed away 2 weeks after our last stop and could not make his funeral. Staying in Fabens this weekend to eat at the Cattleman’s' Steakhouse but will make a point to land the plane here at Horizon and drive the rest of the way in. Watched the special on Discovery Channel about their steakhouse, the review of the airport and steakhouse were so good, hats off to the both places.... Just love Texas hospitality. N7650n ...15th stop.

Great Stop. No need to taxi. East Bound - Just land straight in, pull off midfield and fill-up (with Mogas in my case) then there is still 5000' of runway left to depart eastward. Then I reversed the process westbound a few days later (with a little less runway). Friendly service! Great location for southern route around restricted areas. Easy clearance through Class C from the ground if needed.

Passed thru on April 18, 2008 flying a Starduster Too from MS to Ca. Last time here was 10 years ago and Phil is still the best. Thank you Phil for getting me thru ELP airspace with my radio problem. Purchased gas and oil regardless of the price!!!! The service is what counts!!!

After battling 60kt headwinds, the guys here put 45.5 gallons in my 48-gallon tank. Very friendly and will come again.

Stopped there on the way from PHX eastbound. Nice little airport and great help from Mr. Phil Barrett! Very cheap rental car also available for a quick lunch in town.

My wife and I stopped on the way to Arizona for fuel. Mr. Barrett met us at the pump and pumped the gas while we used the facilities. Great service! He also advised us that if you're headed west, you could call El Paso approach from the ground and get a squawk to transit the class C. They brought us directly over KELP so it made for an easy transition.
