I have flown into and out of BLH many times. The FBO has been significantly upgraded since Patton Aviation took over management. The Wi-Fi on the field is excellent and very fast. There is a lot of military training that happens at the field and you need to be cognizant of the activity that may be going on when your transiting the area, especially the parachuting. The CTAF is always monitored when operations are in progress so call 10 miles out and advise. The military nature of the operation at BLH is reflected in the way services are provided; efficient and generally fast. I have always found the staff friendly and willing to help.

Would not let pilot fill own aircraft. Weird since the last 3000 miles of fuel stops we did ever single time. Manager or owner came out yelling cussing my co-pilot and I out about not letting the line guy fuel my aircraft. Line guy was super unprofessional was not understanding about how I wanted to fuel my personal owned and operated aircraft. Don't plan this as a fuel stop ever!!!Response from Simon Powell, Manager/Director, Patton Aviation LLC
Mr. Riggs, I am so sorry that you did not have the best experience when you landed at BLYTHE AIRPORT and tried to self service refuel your $100, 000 Cessna 150. We take great care in ensuring that our linemen are skilled at refueling all aircraft and are polite at all times. Should you be passing Blythe in the future please feel free to stop in, try our free coffee, high speed Internet and planning room. There is even a free to use, pilot car if you need to dash into town for one of your Riverside County meetings. Save travels Mr. Riggs

My favorite place to fly to. After fueling Take a moment to look around at the surrounding mountains while enjoying some ice cream. If you have time head into town for some amazing Mexican food at Garcia's in Blythe or to the Colorado River to cool down or just go fishing. The guys at Patton aviation are great. Lots of WW II history at this airport.
