Great airport and FBO. Awesome gas prices. Friendly and helpful staff. You gotta see the old 737 restaurant. It is worth the stop.

Stopped here unplanned to wait for stormy weather ahead to clear, and we were pleased with the FBO friendly service, low fuel price and decent restaurant. This is an unusual field for its history and ability to handle large aircraft and restaurant-in-a-fuselage (you gotta see to believe).

Flew into Parachute Inn for Saturday Seafood Buffet on the 18th. Highly recommend the food and service at the restaurant. We landed at 1715. The FBO fuel guy was refueling 2 black hawks and prior to arrival they advise us of the helicopter and to watch out on approach. After landing I asked fuel guy to top off the tanks. He advised that there would be a $10 surcharge since it was after 1700. Hey, your still on duty, never left and did not have to travel back to the airport. It's after 1700 and owner requires me to charge the surcharge. Not a friendly FBO. Will avoid buying any fuel at KARG with current operators.
Response from Ken Newcom, Airport Manager, Walnut Ridge Regional Airport
As posted on AirNav and almost all web pages there is an after hour fee. I start paying the refueling person time and one haft at one min. after 5:00 p.m. with the whole hour and not part of.. If you fly in with a small aircraft I am paying you to refuel your aircraft. This airport receives no city, county, state or federal money to operate the entire airport. I must be paid for services given to pay the light bill.

Flew in Friday for a Cessna 2 Oshkosh formation flight clinic. Jim Rodney was a GREAT help and attended to our every need. The fuel truck is a hoot! All day Saturday we used the lounge and held our clinic and Jim was always there ready to help. Fuel price is great also. The FBO building is fine and does not need an upgrade. Went to the 737 to eat Friday night. A great place to stop!

On first landing this is a SCARY looking airport with lots of dead airliners around - felt like a graveyard! - but settling in at the FBO I got great fuel service and a nice talk with Ken, the manager. I couldn't stay - had a graduation in Oklahoma to get to and the storms were building to the west - but did sniff around the attached restaurant, complete with Southwest 737 fuselage, and the catfish smelled wonderful. I'll be back with family in tow - thanks Ken and all for a great stop. Oh, and tip the young man who brings the fuel to you...

Stopped here today in our Turbo Commander N900NE and had really good service, friendly staff and great fuel prices. I hope we are able to stop again.

I stopped in yesterday during my "flyabout". The gas was cheap, service was excellent. It didn't seem to matter to them that I only needed 12 gallons of fuel. I will definitely be back. Thanks!

This airport was ok. It was what to be expected from a small town airport. The service was below standard. The FBO could use an upgrade. The fuel prices were comparable to other surrounding airports. Maybe a little increase in the price is due. So the FBO could be upgraded. Restaurant on the field was ok. It does have a golf course within walking distance. So that’s a big plus. My son and me are planning a golf outing next spring

Had dinner Saturday night (seafood buffet) in the body of an old Southwest 737! My sons thought it was pretty neat and I did as well. Nice folks. Great reason to fly in.

We had a flight of 5 Ercoupes, a Tiger and an RV flying in to eat at the restaurant. We called ahead to see if several of us could get fuel after 5 (about 5:45), and they said they would wait. When we fueled, they charged EACH plane a $10 callout fee! Had they told us they would do this, we would not have fueled there. Had they only charged $10 for all of us it would have been OK, but this seemed a bit much. I will not be buying fuel there any more.
Response from Ken Newcom, Airport Manager, Walnut Ridge Regional Airport
I am the airport Manager and have read what was said about callout fee. I will check out what the reason was for the charge on each aircraft. At that time of day were you all from another local airport in those types of aircraft? Please call me at (870) 886-5432 or e-mail me at wraaf@bscn.Com with more information.

On a recent trip to Waco stopped at KARG. Staff was friendly and attentive. Price of fuel was below market and got in and 110 gallons of fuel in 30 minutes. Great stop going south from the great lakes.

Ken and his folks took care of us this last week when we were in the area to attend a funeral. We couldn’t ask for more cooperation or better service.

Stopped in the end of August, planned (plus AWOS saying lightning distant west). W/B limitations made me specify exactly how much fuel, which the crew happily pumped. Waiting out the storm at the museum and restaurant, the airport manager voluntarily kept an eye on the weather radar. He saw a break, came looking for us, and got us on our way with a smile and a wave. Great folks! Will always stop when en route. Excellent place to stop.

Great folks. Stopped by for fuel on my way from TX to IN. Fuel prices are great and FBO is friendly. I got a quick turn. Like this place enough to come back through on my way home.

Flew in on 3/29/07. You have to eat at the Parachute Inn. Best aviation dining atmosphere I've ever experienced. We dined in the 737 part of the restaurant. There is also a military aviation museum right across from the restaurant. Walnut Ridge is a must-stop if you're in the area.

Nice airport with lots of runways. Ate at the restaurant on the field. Nice atmosphere. Food was average, but worth trying. I will be back. Fridays is the catfish buffet and Saturday is seafood buffet.

I used Walnut Ridge for a fuel stop to and from TN. Very nice facility and great customer service. Fuel price very reasonable. I like the fact that they have three runways. I'll stop here again:)

Good stop for fuel. Old Army Air Base, 3 runways to choose from. Nice folks at FBO. Will stop again.
