Computers for weather are excellent including internet access. The line folks always make me feel welcome when we have stopped even though on their best day my fuel tanks will not hold all that much. Recommended with confidence you will be pleased.   From David Leafstedt on 27-Sep-2009 Stopped for overnight on 9/17/09. Service was excellent. I can't say enough about the people, everyone was friendly and very helpful. Ground crew was super. They made hotel reservations and let us use the crew car overnight. This is a definite fuel or overnight stop. I will positively stop the next time I get close to KBMG.   From Jack Madden on 09-Sep-2009 Very helpful and friendly. 5 stars   From Vin Rampey on 07-Sep-2009 Outstanding service and a really nice airport. Stopped for fuel enroute to Oshkosh and had one of the quickest turns I've ever had. Thanks for the great service!   From Steve Gill on 03-Sep-2009 Stopped in for a quick visit to I.U. Awesome service - was met right away. Fuel price was great and as advertised. Courtesy car was limited to 2hrs but a nice Pontiac rental was available. About $15 for the few hours I was there. More than fair. I'm a fan.   From Steve Hurst on 08-Aug-2009 We stopped at KBMG on the way to Oshkosh, I chose Cook because of the fuel prices. Line service was excellent. The flight-planning computer was down so I was ushered into the office to use the line supervisor’s personal computer. My wife loved the crew car, it was clean and in good condition. Cook runs a first class FBO, we will be back.   From Vince Giampa on 04-Aug-2009 Stopped at Cook Aviation for an overnight stay while on a long cross-country. The folks at Cook Aviation take customer service to an entirely new level. They set the standard for other FBO's which should take a long, hard look at how Cook operates. By far, this is the best FBO that I've stopped at across the country. Greg and Jeff are courteous, friendly and helpful. Facilities are great. They even offered a courtesy car for my trip to and from the hotel. Cook Aviation is a "must stop" if you're traveling thru the area.   From Tim Doyle on 03-Aug-2009 I found that I had a flat nose tire upon landing this past weekend, and the folks at Cook went out of their way to help me get the tire repaired. A great bunch of people there! Thank you again for your help, and please thank Brent again for me. Great service and low gas prices - Cook has it all!   From Clarence Symond on 10-Jul-2009 I just wanted to say that I have been stopping at Monroe County Airport KBMG and Cook Aviation for about 3 years now on my trips between NC and WI, service has always been absolutely SUPER and the prices are always great, in and out fast and superb service, I wouldn't stop anywhere else. Just wanted to say THANK YOU in writing.   From Nathan Keizer on 13-Jun-2009 Great staff, we called to arrange for a quick turn while making a fuel stop. The staff was more than ready. In and out in 10 minutes or less. Great job, and great prices. Definitely a place to stop.   From Scott Pace on 24-Apr-2009 Excellent FBO. Very pleased with a weekend stop.   From Dale Lipe on 05-Mar-2009 12-31-08 Stopped at Cook on the way south from Illinois for fuel and again for an overnight on the way back north. The folks at Cook treated me in my C152 like I had arrived in a Citation; they couldn't have been more helpful. The enthusiasm for customer service is obvious from the President, Rex and all of the staff. You will remember your visit here.   From Dean Winegardner on 26-Nov-2008 I just want you to know how much I appreciate you and all the employees at Cook Aviation. We flew in and out of there quite frequently for about a year, and I have never been treated so graciously and received such efficient service from anyone else.   From Jim Mahoney on 05-Oct-2008 Prompt, friendly, attentive service. Best fuel prices in the midwest. Not tie-down fee. Couldn't ask for more.   From John Dooley on 28-Sep-2008 Great hospitality, reasonable fuel price, close to city. Cadillac crew car.   From Dean Winegardner on 19-Sep-2008 Best FBO ever!!!!! Unbelievable people unbelievable service!!!!!   From William Schmidt on 03-Sep-2008 We intended to just have a quick fuel stop, due to Cook's excellent pricing. However, due to thunderstorms approaching our destination, we decided to spend the night in Bloomington. The staff was wonderful! They arranged for a hotel, at a very competitive price. We were able to use the courtesy car (a Cadillac) at no charge. They accommodated several requests about tie-downs, etc. When I left the tie-down rings off the plane, they called the hotel to let me know, and I could come back and correct this. This is a top notch FBO. I highly recommend it. Great service, great price.   From Dave Grubbs on 24-Aug-2008 We flew a Lifeguard trip to this airport and got very prompt treatment upon arrival. Our passengers returned early and before I could get back into the FBO, one of the line guys had retrieved my stuff in the pilot's lounge and brought it to me at the airplane. Good heads up play! However, the best service happened after our departure. Right after take-off I realized I had left my wallet in their courtesy (Cadillac!) car. Debbie O'Connor promptly found it and arranged to have it overnighted to me in Raleigh. Later that day, the president of the FBO, Rex, personally called me to give me the tracking number and assure me that it was on its way. He also took the time to answer a couple of questions and tell me a little of the FBO's history and philosophy. This was my first visit to this airport. There are 2 FBO's on the field. If I ever go back, I will definitely pull up to Cook's FBO. Thanks, again.   From Richard Figliola on 13-Aug-2008 Excellent service - first class. One of the best FBO's I have visited. Good prices on their own rental cars and good fuel prices as advertised. Thanks.   From Marilyn Friedman on 13-Jul-2008 This is a nice place to stop for fuel. We arrived here after a long day of flying. I was ill and needed a place to spend the night. They found us a room close to the airport and transported us there in their courtesy car (a big Cadillac). Thank goodness for their help. By the way, they also have a lovely little garden greeting you when you enter their office.   From E Brigman on 10-Jul-2008 A really great group of people. They helped with hotel reservations and provided transportation on short notice. Very reasonable fuel price. I will certainly stop in again.   From David Schmutzler on 28-Jun-2008 What can I say that has not already been said? I'd been to Cook before, but only for fuel. Decided to divert here for overnight due to Wx ahead because of past service. Called on Unicom from 95 miles out just before closing time. Felt lucky to get an answer. They stayed late, hotel reservation made, red Cady brought to plane etc. Etc. This gang is tough to beat!   From Nick Wilkerson on 10-Jun-2008 Stopped here on the way from NY to AZ. Quick service and friendly people. We were in and out in 30 mins. Great fuel prices on Jet A. They even picked up Subway for my passengers. Will stop in again.   From Paul L. Safran on 22-May-2008 Amazing service, landed 9:15pm on Tuesday met by two employees that stayed late when they saw me scheduled to arrive. I had NOT called ahead. Red Cadillac, cheap reservation at a Marriot all set, felt great on my CA to NY trip. Thanks!   From Pat Pinkston on 30-Apr-2008 Very friendly and helpful staff. Good fuel prices. We were held over a day due to weather. Staff provided the courtesy car, helped us get a hotel at a reduced rate, assisted with a rental car location, and took great care of our airplane. And the cookies are a bonus!!!   From Dan MacDonald on 07-Apr-2008 Flew in at 10 pm on 4/5/2008. Staff was very helpful with gas, free newer Cadillac crew car, and hotel arrangements. Inexpensive gas, weather computer, and cookies to munch on. All you can ask for and more.   From Dominick Buccola on 31-Mar-2008 Cook was great; we were delivering an Avait Husky for a float install to Minnesota, from Florida. When the airspeed indicator went to Zero during the flight. The staff at Cook could not have done any more to help us clear the clog. And the hot cookies were a treat!!! Thanks a Bunch....   From Scott Powers on 30-Mar-2008 A week ago I had the family in the plane ready to leave for spring break and my starter went out. Within 30 minutes Rex and staff located a new starter in Indy. We were able to use a hangar and tools. Just 5 hours later we were on our way to Key West. First rate customer service and the least expensive fuel around. Thanks Cook Avitation!   From Jason Ormsby on 10-Mar-2008 My experience with Cook Aviation was excellent. The employees were very helpful from landing to take-off. Rex was very accommodating, as he provided transportation to and from a hotel. I will definitely go out of my way to stop here again if I an in the area. I appreciated the great customer service.   From Jim Loach on 04-Feb-2008 Once again outstanding service from Cook Aviation! I was held over for weather, they arranged for hotel reservations at a very competitive price, and the rental car was waiting warming up on the ramp when we pulled up to park. They also helped and moved us into a heated hangar the forecast became even more ominous than predicted. Will stop again and again. All their staff is pleasant and helpful. THE place to stop in Indiana!   From Thomas Crouch on 22-Jan-2008 Cook Aviation is a great example of dedication to service and attention to detail. The line staff is super-friendly and go out of their way to help with anything you need, not to mention the CHEAPEST FUEL IN THE MIDWEST!!! A great fuel stop for the coast-to-coasters! NO FEES AT ALL!!!   From David Williams on 12-Oct-2007 My wife and I got a late start going from Virginia to Chicago. We planned Cook Aviation as a fuel and comfort stop. Because we had a late start we were tempted to continue on to KMDW but decided to stop anyway. What a great stop. We were directed to park directly in front of the FBO. It was a 15-minute turnaround: fuel, bathroom and GREAT COOKIES. Thanks Cook Aviation for your help.   From Arden Meyer on 11-Sep-2007 My wife and I stopped by on the 31st of Aug and again on the 3rd of Sep in a DA-20. We had previously only been through one other time on the 26th of December, but they remembered us! Of course, the DA-20 is a memorable little plane. I still can't say enough about their excellent service. Too bad every FBO isn't like this one!   From George Pfeiffer on 27-Aug-2007 I stopped through on Aug 22 on my way to the east coast, and again returning west on Aug 25. This is a first rate operation. Staff is helpful and courteous. Nice facility, nice people, and exceptional fuel prices. I will certainly stop by again when I am anywhere near this area.   From William Gondert on 23-Aug-2007 I stopped in Saturday, August 18 for fuel and cookies during a cross-country trip. Fuel was under $4.00/gal, the cookies were warm, and the service was great. To top it off, two days later I get a follow up card to make sure that everything was OK during my visit. This FBO understands what customer service is. I would recommend this as a stop to anyone flying close by.   From Jerry Gable on 02-Aug-2007 I've had great service at major FBOs with fuel prices well over $5 but to have such super great service and then be charged under $4 for 100LL puts Cook's at the very top of my list and everybody else's that's ever stopped here. They put me up over night at the Fairfield and provided fast and efficient transportation. I just can't say enough about the girls behind the counter and the guys out on the line. They certainly reflect well on Messrs. Hinkle and Cook. By the way, I arrived in a vintage Skyhawk not a Citation. Same great service!   From Rich Gorkes on 28-Jul-2007 The finest FBO in America!! I said I would be back and I did. Service continues to be truly outstanding. Upon arrival, the line crew was flagging us and provided outstanding service. Offered to clean our windshield and immediately arranged a crew car for lunch. Comfortable Adirondacks chairs are out front along with beautiful landscaping which was being worked on the day we arrived. Cook Aviation is truly an OUTSTANDING FBO...All the positive comments are deserved.   From Jim Loach on 14-Jul-2007 Great Service. I was bringing my daughter for orientation at IU. The rental car was waiting on the ramp ready to go. Staff is helpful and friendly in every way. Called the motel and made arrangements for me. The fresh cookies are another super touch. I'll be back!   From Bob Squillace on 24-May-2007 Came in for a quick turn and the service was top notch!!! The truck came out and had 700 gallons of fuel in before all the pax were done in the restrooms and from eating the fresh baked cookies. From now on this will be the stop we make from So. Cal to the right coast. Thanks to everyone there for a great experience and for the quality customer care!!! Keep it up, and you will have more planes on that large ramp than you know what to do with. Good news travels fast. With low fuel prices the news travels faster.   From Jim Loach on 27-Apr-2007 Greeted on April 26 arrival by the line staff with clear directions to parking and the rental car on the ramp running ready to go. Outstanding service and a great fuel price. I will return for sure and highly recommend Cook Aviation.   From Tommy Hudson on 15-Apr-2007 I actually go out of my way to use Cook Aviation when in the area. They are truly the best FBO in North America...Yes much better than Wilson Air in Memphis!!   From Ron Woller on 10-Mar-2007 En route from Alabama stopped in Bloomington to wait on fog to clear in Kalamazoo. Absolutely great service and saved $1.00/gal in fuel vs. Kalamazoo. Highly recommend stopping at Cook Aviation.   From Jason Hoekstra on 07-Mar-2007 Great prices in fuel, my stop of choice between Atlanta and Chicago. Good FBO, good flight planning, good pilot quiet room, cookies, etc. Great fuel prices.   From Nel De Boeck on 05-Mar-2007 We would like to thank and express our appreciation for the nice welcome we received on Feb. 21. We will recommend this FBO to all friend pilots and visit Cook Aviation each time we are in the neighborhood. This is the place to be!   From Jim Dunn on 25-Feb-2007 Absolutely the friendliest FBO I've encountered in nearly 40 years of flying. Courteous staff, great service and free cookies! Keep it up - I'll be back frequently - and will send my pilot friends your way.   From Dean Winegardner on 09-Feb-2007 I fly into Bloomington once every two weeks, and I just can't say enough about how great the staff at Cook Aviation is at helping me and making me feel welcome. I fly my Meridian about 250 hours a year all over the country, and I think this FBO is one of the best I have come across.   From Peter J Stephens on 01-Jan-2007 I've been stopping at KBMG for fuel for several years now. Both of the FBOs there are top drawer, but I believe that Cooke has the edge. Quick turnarounds (even for us Bonanza drivers), very competitive fuel prices, very friendly and competent staff, clean and classy courtesy car, etc. What more could one want?   From Arden Meyer on 27-Dec-2006 Like several other commenters here, we got stuck by the weather. The crew provided us with a crew car, maps, and directions to the nearby motels. Two of the motels even had discounts for mentioning Cook Aviation. The next morning before sunrise we had a quarter inch of frost on the plane; the lineman pulled it into the hangar for twenty minutes so it could thaw while we waited in the warm pilot's lounge. The service was impeccable, especially since we only fit 18 gallons of fuel (@3.05/gal) in the Diamond! These folks are definitely the models we wish all FBOs could be!   From Tom Baum on 23-Dec-2006 Attention FBO’s! Come to Cook's, take notes, this is how you run a FBO!   From Mike Jones on 09-Dec-2006 Visited Cook Aviation on Dec 4 2006 en route north to Chicago. I normally plan for a 1-hour fuel stop, but these people were so efficient and so friendly that I got in-and-out in just 15 minutes, which got me to my destination far earlier than planned and missing some potentially awkward weather. The facility was modern, clean and tidy and the people were great. Highly recommended, and fuel was very affordable.   From John Borgman on 30-Nov-2006 Enjoyed the stop for fuel and to drop off a passenger. Pleasantly surprised at the low fuel prices! (Had not checked AirNav prior to this trip) They treat you well!
